RE: Sexy new shoes - Teaser
So... Gunner asked me in a PM if I thought I made the right choice with the tires... I bought the tires just because he suggested them. I knew I wanted Interco and he is the only reason I went with these over the ones I orginally wanted.
The tires are awesome. They get traction like only Interco does. That is why the truck stayed so clean. I didn't need wheel spin to go anywhere. I drove in and out of everything with the same traction I have when on the street. The less wheelspin you have the more control you have. Aired down to a still high 19-20 psi these things gripped and ripped.
NOW... there is not a doubt in my mind that the ONLY reason I didn't get massive body damage to the side of my truck was due to the performance of these new tires.
The quality of the ride was not compromised either. They are slightly louder than a stock BFG, but that is a no-brainer. They are slightly stiffer than the stock BFG, but I'm still deciding what tire pressure I want to run.
I am 100% satisfied with my tire choice and owe Gunner a beer for his suggestion.

and I just had another thought....
A stock BFG for the H2 (315/70-17) costs approx $237 from the place I bought my tires. (4wheelparts)
The tire Gunner suggested (35x12.5-17) cost me $249.
Clearly an extra $12 per tire was worth it.

and if you look at the picture of Steve stuck to his axles... I was parked in front of him... I didn't even notice the ground was that soft.
Rich pointed out how nice this picture looks....
