My tires arrived today...
Wow these things look nice.....
I got the Grizz up on blocks in the driveway and will be putting the new tires on these old rims tomorrow, I cant wait to see what this baby looks like with them installed.
Any recommendation's from the guys that have them on what tire pressure to run??, I have never run radials...
I figure worse case air em up a bit high 10 psi max and adjust them down for comfort...

Why did you mount the white letters in...?...
They will work fine on the roads and light mud....but don't be going mudding with them....they stink in the gooey stuff......my buddy had a set on his prarie and he just got rid of them and put on mud-wolfs (i believe thats what he has now....made by Carlisle ?)......they ride real good cause of the radial but they are not a good mud tire.....

I don't care for white lettering, same reason I took the decals off, I just don't care for them.

  I also have taken the decals off my Griz but have the white lettering out for a contrast.  I find them excellent in mad as the lugs clean themselves out real quick, in fact don't ride in front of me as I have seen mud thrown 20 feet or better down the road, something like the planes of old when they fired the machine guns they used to run into their own bullets...........

So how did the tires work at snurt. Were they bigger than 26" ? I have heard that some people say that they run a bit larger than there labeled size. How did it ride on the road did it effect your top speed.
I am going to by a set of new meats for the outlander and was interested in how you liked them. They are one mean looking tire. Rapidrobert

I think they worked great, only got stuck once and that was pure operator fault...lol..
They sure feel larger than 26, although I didnt go put a tape measure to them.
I cant give you to much more of a review as I was on the 2wd machine Saturday, but I think the general consensus from Missie was they are real nice.
