They work great with x10000000 more traction than my stock tires ever could have.

It is a tight fit, but they do tuck

Dirt, Dust, Gravel, no problem. I wish we had some mud in the desert.

All in all I am stoked. They are exactly what I had hoped for. The tread picks up tons of small rocks but that was expected. Slight hum above 35 MPH. Best purchase i have made in a while.

I am interested to know how they act when aired down. I wonder how the casing does with that kind of bulging and flexing going on.

their website says that is not an issue...but they don't really recommend airing down.

Do they say why they don't recommend airing down?

Here it is directly form their website.

"Can I air these tires down?
Airing the tires down will void any warranty, however, JP Magazine tested our 31x10.50R15 aired down without any problem and many of our customers do this without any problems. The tires will perform like a new tire."

jay21, any rubbing? Did you only need to pound the pinch weld?

They look great by the way.

I aired down last time I went out wheeling and since mine are load E rating I dont think you will have any problems I didnt and I was pushing it kind of hard at times.

Will play hell with the bonding process of the new tread.Not airing down is kinda pointless when playing on the rocks.

Rubbing was an issue right off. Had to trim the front fender liners and lower darn on the front bumber. I still have some rubbing at full lock on the sway bar, and need to bend over some sheet metal to the rear of the A arms area(Also ony a problem at full lock). Strange enough i have no rubbing on the pinch welds at all. I really don't get out enough to run aired down so i probably won't be able to provide too much feedback on that. I think any lift higher than a daystar would have required less trimming, but i was going to shave it anyway. Now i just need to have enough money fall into my lap for a franky and some custom bumper and i'll be done. until i find that rack, sliders and some other trinkets, then i'll be done. i think?
