Default M&H 275/55-16" DR's mounted...pics

Got the tires in and mounted on a set of stock aluminum rims. I wish they were Sierra rims, but they don't look too bad.

First impressions...the truck sits just right IMO. It has a slight rake. The tires fit just fine on the rim, although the rim could stand to be a tad bit wider, it will do. I took the truck for a test drive, and the already injured tranny didn't like the traction at all! I hope to get the 80-e/stall/gears/Eaton in soon.

I let the tranny downshift into first at about 25mph, which usually results in copious amounts of tire spin and smoke. Instead, the DR's just hooked. From a dead stop--no power brake or anything--it just chirped once then squated and went. I'm really really impressed with these tires so far, even though they only have about 5 miles on them.

Anyway, on to the pics...sorry they're so huge:

Looks good, I may go with a set of those myself. They seem to fit the stock wheel pretty good even though the wheel is narrower than they suggest to use.

They are 28" tall. I got them from a non-sponsor. If you check around some of the internet mail order sites you should be able to find them.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with them so far. Can't wait to see how they do at the track!

Sounds like they hook well on the street. I really would like to know how well they hook at the track cause I am seriously considering going with those instead of the 28x11.50 ET Streets.
