I decided to try the Treadwight tires this time. They are a little loud with a high pitched sound. Not really bad though. No offroad test yet.

265/75/16" OTR-S COST: $78.75 each + shipping.

I have a set of the ATs,( BFG AT tread design, on BFG casings) they are doing pretty good, of course no way are they a mud tire but so far so good.

We have a stretch of beach, 9 miles, that we are allowed to drive on so I thought I would see how they do. At the very end the sand is very deep and loose. Even some 4X4's get hung up in it. I plowed right through! Then I tried 2 sand dunes and didn't have any problems. I even had the front tires in the air going over the top! :twisted:

The real TEST will be the ECS next month.

The tires weigh 55.2lbs unmounted. The soft 8's weigh 30.4lbs. each. Man, that is a lot of weight!

Yeah, I think that was part of ChiroKJ's concern with them as well...

That is a funky looking pattern, the center section is strange, but if it works. I may go with Treadrights on my Tahoe next time around, something more aggressive than my Toyos. If they're loud, just turn up the radio a little louder.... :twisted:

Terry, did they balance out okay?

They were hard to balance but they did. They also don't grab real well on a wet highway. I found that out when I took off from a full stop.

My Treadwrights were hard to balance, the Goodyear MTR tread design. I love them though. VERY soft, not too sure how many miles I will get out of them. And the sides are a little chewed up from my lack of pinch weld pounding abilities

. I need to fix that.

Didn't know you had Treadwrights. They sent me the BFG AT casings, with GY MTR tread. Kinda funky haha.
