I've heard the Eastwood cavity wax is really good stuff. Been wanting to use it on my Mustang.

Decisions, decisions.

As for the blue letters, that would look good with a white truck. Too bad road wash cleans that off so quickly. lol
Haha , I'll probably do the same. Yea, it really doesn't matter to me, good looking tires either way. Haven't had a tire with this much tread in the past. E rated tires have more tread I guess. That was a nice surprise. They are heavy though, it was expected, - wanted something more puncture proof w/ heavier side walls.

Nice aggressive road tread. Like I said, it is too bad the blue rubs off the white lettering. It would look great on your white rig.

Can't get over how heavy these tires are. I have some BFG's w/50% tread out in the shed and they don't compare in weight or rigidity. Specs say 50 lbs apiece. Hope they ride well. The BFG's are P rated like my Goodyears are vs E's. I imagine they might make a difference in mileage. No idea how much air to run in them yet. They say 80 psi max, probably run half that ?

I'll have to chalk test it, probably the most accurate way to figure pressure.

Cooper says 50 front and 65 rear for DD use E Range tires. 65/80 when carrying a full load.

Hope that helps.

Yea that helps! You found that at the site? Must have, didn't think about looking for that there.

It was on their site and also on tire101 or whatever it is called.

I thought that I had those before or very similar E Coopers. Here is a out of pixel picture of them on Blue. I found them decent but noise and harsh over speed bumps. Otherwise I loved the traction and get around ability of them for sure.
