sometimes thats people's problem with Generals... they do they from time to time... I've been lucky though I guess. mine have sat for months at a time without moving and I've never had a problem.

They took care of it, also broke the tire sensor so I've been back to them 3 times this week.


I have been very happy with them otherwise, nice to have traction. They handle weight well too, ride is better. Only other tire I rilly wanted was the toyos but I couldn't get them for a good price.

I was thinking they would grab more, second does grab even when I power shift know...

I've run 100mph for 20-30min and they were very confident

imo once you start making at least 300 to the wheel not many tires are going to grab with a truck suspension. unless you run DR's all the time.


or have a torque converter that stalls up to 2800 or more

Ordered some 275-70-16's today, getting them on tomorrow Got the warranty with them, but hope I don't get a defective one. Hope they grip better than the stockers in the rain, I almost lost it the other day.

Got them on...First impression of them. They feel better in the corners and in the rain than the stockers...they eat some of the bumps up and they look pretty badass IMO...As far as traction goes, wasn't that good due to being brand new tires, but once they get a few miles on them I will let yall know. What psi are yall running your tires at in the rear?
