After a few sucesses at the local drag strip. I finally got some partial sponsorship for tires and wheels. I wanted more traction on the strip without going into the slick territory.
They are 305/70/16 ProComp AT on 10" ProComp 1079 wheels. The wheels seem offset a little so the tires seem to get out a little. We cranked the T bars too high and now the front bounces like hell when I lauch. Gonna have to lower them and strap the centerlink to counter that effect.
Keep in mind this is my work truck... When I say it busts its ass, it really does!

They look good. Nice to hear someone else saying their truck is a work truck and not just a toy.

Very nice. Looks like you got a bigger foot print now. Lets see how well they work out for you next week.

I have 39K on my Pro-Comps and they are pretty much bald...i guess not bad for an AT. They do work well in the snow but do not clean out in the mud very well. They are decent handling, sometimes a little soft. I was pulling a 50ft trailer usually loaded and they held pretty well for this kind of torture. I have been working with 4Wheel Parts to see how the this pro rating crap is going to work. Sounds like I will only end up getting about $20 a tire back on thier supposed 50k warranty...Bummer for me!

Not sure I'm going to keep them; The width and the ofset of the mags make them very hard to control on 4x4 launches. I'll continue testing...

Are you having any problems with rubbing??

Yes they rub. You can easily get rid of the bumber/air dam rubbing with a little trimming and a few turns to the T-Bars but the rubbing in the back (inside the fender) is more difficult to get rid of without going to extreme T-Bar heights or have a 4-6" lift.

Or hack the fender pinch weld behind the plastic liner...
