Used to have a pic of me and Justin when he had whitey and I was on 35s. He had KM2s and I had MTZs, both 35s on 8" rims. His were newer but mine were over an inch taller and a bit wider as well. BFGs run small and Mickeys tend to be pretty much on the money. Prices are crazy on 17s, 18s and so on. My 38s new are 350 and there's lots more rubber there.

I usually ran 8psi in mine and they flat out hooked in rocks. They clean well in mud too. Mine had chunks missing in them but every tire I've ever run has, rocks will do that. I ran them as low as 4psi a time or two and never once lost a bead. They guy that has my old set is still running them on his 4runner and they still work great. Great tire especially for the money. I had blems and they were like 600 out the door.

Wow they've gone up. Where did you get them? I'm guessing Ringgold but I didn't think they were that high but I haven't been there in a long time. Not since John left anyway.

When you click on Wheeling Neighborhoods, Select Southeast and when that pops up, there's a Sticky at the top.
