If i am cruising with the windows down, I can hear another trucks' tires over mine. Definitely worth the extra cost IMO. I only have 5k and 1 rotation on my set, but i think I will get atleast 40-50k as well from them (which is way more than my Toyo Open Country's gave me, 28k). Good luck in makin a decision.

Nice job on the paint also. I would have went with a true black match because I too don't like the checkered look on some rims coming out now, but they are your rims and if its the look you were going for, thats all that matters. Looks good either way.
i actually priced these tires out and they really arent to much more, about 200 buck diff. and if they last twice as long then they would be well worth it. was planning on going to a local custom truck shop and seeing what they carry, but little girl needs her sleep so hopefully go in the morning. geez thanks guys i thought i had my tire picked out then you throw another tire that sounds good.

As long as you did good prep work and put a few coats of clear over the paint they should hold up quite a long time.
