The drifting thing will go on for 5K to 8K miles due to the fact that the tread is so deep. At least that is what mine have done.

I have had mine on for a couple of years now. I love them no real issues. if you crank the torsion bars up 3" you need to change the shocks too..... I also put goodyear traction tires on mine all the way around

Lookin good!!

The company I got mine from sent me one wrong tire, and they said they would replace the one tire, then ballance the others. Thant shoud fix the vibration problem, but the brakes feel good.

Thanks for the info about the drifting. That makes sense!

Other than that I love them!!

What do you mean by cut? Did they shave them down so they weren't drifty? How do you do that?

And also I was wondering how everyone balances the tires. I heard that they put something in the tires, or do they just put weights on the wheels?

I tried the beads in the tires....... didn't work. they had to shave the tires to make them true then they balanced with weights. it really made a difference. I have put 35,000 on the truck with these tires and i am usually towing when i drive it

33' boat= 11,500
32' car trailer 8000-9000

Is your boat trailer electric/hydraulic brakes? Did you upgrade the brakes on the truck to compensate for the additional rotaing mass of the heavier wheels/tires?

The look is AWESOME, but I refuse to compromise capability.

electric/hydraulic on the boat and electric on the car trailer.

i looked into doing bigger brakes and the only thing they offer is drilled rotors for these trucks . i really haven't had any issues with the brakes
