Treadwright "Guard Dog" 245/75/16" at 31" tall. I finally got my speedometer back to where it is supposed to be! I just put them on today so it will be interesting to see what the gas mileage does. It better go up!!

Those tires are fairly heavy, right? Did you already swap to 4:10's?

Yes, TreadWright tires are very heavy, because most of them are load range "E" tires. They'll go 50 lbs. each easily. :shock:

Otherwise, they are awesome. But yeah...with that tread and the added weight, I think he's going to see his mileage go down, not up.
