steiner43511 03-02-2006, 01:35 PM ive had them in the past. not a bad tire by any means. can sometimes wear pretty fast and they tend to get pretty loud. they work fine in the mud. Iceman18T 03-02-2006, 02:21 PM I have the ST's and they are awesome. I use them on my truck in the winter only for plowing. They are about the best tire that I've had in the snow. They are a bit noisy, especially when the plow is on. NorCal 2500HD 03-02-2006, 02:49 PM what your definition of loud though??.....Like a bogger on the freeway type loud?? LeadfootDuramax 03-02-2006, 07:02 PM what your definition of loud though??.....Like a bogger on the freeway type loud?? Yeah, now that can get real annoying. But those things are awesome in the mud. 66flh 03-02-2006, 08:31 PM They seem to look an awful lot like the toyo open country tires. Big Angry 03-02-2006, 09:17 PM The ride was a little rougher than my BFG A/T's, but once I got used to it, it's not bad. They are a tad loud, but that comes with the territory with mud tires. Mine seem to be wearing ok, but I have only had them on for about 1500 miles so far. I like them, but like all 285/70/17's, they are too expensive. Just my .02 MuddinDirty 03-02-2006, 10:11 PM I have had mine on for 10,000 miles now. Like everybody else siad, you do notice the humm of a mud tire but its not even close to being unbearable. I drove 12 hours straight to Tennessee and not uncomfortable at all, even puts the wife to sleep a little faster. And I feel you Big Angry, they are F'n pricey but well worth it. 66flh 03-02-2006, 11:08 PM I got a set of 4 mounted and balanced for $816.00.My 35's were cheaper! gmperfomance03 03-02-2006, 11:19 PM Why did you get rid of your 35's? 66flh 03-02-2006, 11:23 PM Closing on a house,need money.I'll buy big again in the near future.Besides,my cousin had $1200.00 burning a hole in his pocket and a 6" lift on a new GMC w/little stockers.The $400.00 will really help right now.The chevy ought to run like a striped ape w/the 285's.:) TeddyBear 03-02-2006, 11:46 PM Ive had mine on for a lil over a month and have about 2K on them so far. They do have a slight hum, but not nearly as loud as i expected. Heres a link to some pics of it http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68555 66flh 03-03-2006, 07:29 PM I got em' on today and I like them.Not too loud.They are alot squirmyer than my 35's though.The truck feels like it picked up 20 HP. so_clean_HD 03-03-2006, 10:39 PM i like them i only got 265's http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y149/boostedcrx7o2/newhousepicsandtruck002.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y149/boostedcrx7o2/hometruck060.jpg | ||
