Truck without trailer was 7560 Truck was a little over max weight on door jamb had all my tools dumped into totes in the bed and empty snap on tool box, roll cart and spare tire on the trailer. Left Anchorage at noon on Saturday the 22 and hit Loraine Tx to drop off the dog 2am on Wednesday morning then to Dallas to report to my job by 12pm. Was a long couple days took 3 3 hour naps along the way. Had 30lbs of air in the bags truck did great truck has 295/65/20 STT Pros and 3.55 gears I took the tune out of it for the drive due to no premium fuel in the Yukon.
And the dog Hank 7mo rotty.

I have never rotated them lol. They have about 18k on them. I had them siped for AK winters I was hoping they would die so I can put on nitto mud grapplers but they still look brand new wearing very evenly I usually run 35psi but bumped them to 45 for the drive we shall see how a couple months of this Texas heat handles the siping.

Yeah I just like how they sound haha. Still undecided as I really want 22s with 37s I just don't like massive offset now that I'm in Texas where everything doesn't cost a million dollars I'm hoping to regear in the next couple weeks I have had the money sitting forever because I knew I was coming down just couldn't justify the 5k they wanted in Alaska.

Too quiet. They are awesome in the mud, sand snow and ice(after being siped) just to me to have a lifted redneck mobile it shouldn't ride like a Camry.

No problem haha. They seem to be lasting forever I had them on my 09 I received the first set in Alaska right after they were released for the money you can't beat them if you want a good all around tire that won't die. This was my first time towing with them so I can't review on how long they will last with everyday towing.

Idk why people want loud tires but they are to loud when u can't hear a straight piped 7.3 over them and if u want loud just put tractor tires on it
