check the DOT code on the tires for manufacture date...just to see how old they are. i wouldnt buy a tire thats more than a couple years old. the last four numbers indicate the week and year it was made.

Here are the tires: 37x12.5x18

If I get them they will be going on 18x9 Moto Metal 951 wheels.

those were my absolute favorite mud tires....They were not that great on wet pavement but man were they great off road...I really wanted a set of those when I got my Toyo's, nobody had them anywhere....

No, they were pretty good, I got about 40000 out of my last set of 35's....

Okay sounds good...I will check the date when I look at them tomorrow and it sounds like they are about par with the other mud tires. Just going to have to make a decision. Jerhelo, did you keep them at a low psi (35-40) or did you run them up higher??
