    nah not bad. It sounds not so good. but you cant feel it hardly. I imagine since i 've had all the panels off the trucks interior, that doesnt help.

    Well I hit some back roads last night. Wasn't quite enough rain to make good mud, but enough to make it slick.

    Tires again, surprised me at how well they did. I was going about 60 mph swerving back and forth and it didn't wanna lose traction. Threw up the gravel/mud mix like crazy. Cleaned themselves great in gravelly mud.

    Not the best pic as the rain had washed the top half of my truck lol. But I had fun.

    Will go hunting for some real mud soon.

    in some of your other photos you have it flexing, how do the new rubbers do when crawling up rocks and trees n junk?

    Ah I didn't post flex shots with the new rubber?

    Here ya go. It just BARELY clears the flare bottom edge thing, but it tucks up nicely. Still have all my flexing capabilities.

    Yeah I'm glad to. Was worried that with less backspacing and wider rim/tire it would hit the flare, but it clears by about a 1/8th inch.
