Default New 34" Trail Grapplers

Picked this set up off a guy on CL for only $750. They have less than 1k miles on them so pretty much brand new. Already got my old set sold so came out pretty good on the deal.
So far I'm very impressed with these tires. They were kind of a pain for the shop to balance (had to use beads) but that's been the only con. Reset my Edge Evo so I feel very little power loss. A little slower off the line but that is to be expected. Slight hum at highway speeds but nothing like I imagined they would sound like with such an aggressive tread. No rubbing and no trimming needed with my 2.5" level. Can't wait to get them a little dirty after the next rainfall!

~ Here are the old 275/65/18 Yokohama's that came with the truck




~ And here's the new 295/70/18 Trails

Hey eric, what psi are you running in yours? And how have they been wearing? I've heard they can go 40k, that'd be awesome

I'm running 50 during the summer and around 40 during the winter. Lower in the winter because of hunting season and going into the lease. They are wearing pretty good. Got about 24k on them and still have plenty of meat.
