I think managed to get good tires without my profits going to Paris (BFG own3d by Michelin). I'm getting the t-bars cranked about an inch on Wed., since I can't get into most of the parking garage spaces I used to frequent any more anyway. Fortunately, the fine garage people are going to let me park on the upper level for $25/month more. Problem solved. Based on the specs, these should have only raised my vehicle by 1.2 inches, but, as you can see below, they're more than 2.4" taller than the BFG ATs. They rub a little at near-full lock. The rubbing is probably tolerable, but a little more than what I'd like. Hence the t-bar lift (and reallignment). They have 3-ply sidewalls, and tread and side lugs look good enough for anything I'll be doing. The tires are beasts - 84 lbs compared with the 60 lbs for the stock tires. They're not very loud either. They do ride a little rougher, but it's a truck anyway, and they handle very well. Happy so far. Be a little happier I think when the t-bars go up a little.
