Ordered the tires today from my local Les Schwab. I'm going with 265 75 16 in a 6 ply. Was wondering if anyone has ran these tires and what they think about them? I'm limited to what I can spend and I already have a charge account with this shop. I thought about Duratracs but they are not a goodyear dealer so they can only get them for 280 a tire. Obviously I'm not spending 280 a tire when discount tire is selling them for 190 a tire and a mail in rebate of 60 bucks. Anyway I asked Les Schwab to match the price on the Duratracs but they said they couldn't so I'm stuck with the Maxxis.

Big tire for just a spacer lift and no mention of a regear

Good luck, one of the local guys ran them when he went trail riding

I forgot I haven't updated my signature. I ditched the spacer lift and went ome springs with extra isolators and a clevis lift also added 4.10's. I haven't installed the gears yet but will be in the next few weeks. .

Had to trim the pinch weld since I didn't need to do it with the 245/75 and I had to trim the inner fender a little by the washer fluid reservoir but it looks awesome. I will try to post up pics once I figure it out lol. Also I think I will be moving the washer reservoir. i think there was a write up on it wasn't there? I searched and just found threads of people saying they did it or ripped theirs off. If anyone has the link for the how to that would be great.

I'm getting a small amount of rubbing on my sway bar. What did you guys do to fix it? It's minimal so I was thinking about some small wheel spacers?

I posted in your other thread about wheel spacers. Good luck with not tearing your flares off!
