SS 1.2 and new MT tires on the way... SoCal lift party??

Treadwright tires arrived today

Was expecting them to come in Monday but they came in one business day early. Great job from Treadwright...10 business days between the order and tires received. This includes waiting specifically for Goodyear MTR casings.

First impressions:

1. These tires are huge compared to my stockers. I measured both--stock was 29" and the TWs were 33". Nice lift from the tires alone!

2. The casings, especially the inside, are in really good shape. Being that they're recycled, I was expecting some scuffs or marks. I did a quick inspection and didn't see anything visible.

3. You can tell a difference between the casing rubber and the tread rubber. The texture is a little different and the color is a slightly different shade. Doesn't bother me and I see nothing wrong with it, but it's worth mentioning.

4. Tires are heavy...wow.

Enjoy the pics. Still looking for anyone else who wants to come down to San Diego in need of installation help on 7/24. Brian2Sun and Pure 98 may be coming down...others are welcome.

Those look sweet! Did the folks at Treadwright seem to mind that you asked for matching casings? I would probably do the same thing if I ordered tires from them, and I wouldn't mind waiting longer for them one bit.

Once you're driving on them, let me know how they sound and handle on the road. I might get these instead of Treadwrights BFG All terrain if they're tolerable on the road.

They were completely accommodating. I think they get the casing request frequently as Joel knew exactly what I wanted when I mentioned it. I was actually surprised that they came so quick. Was expecting it to be a longer wait.

Will update on the sound and ride.
 
I went down there and helped install it on sat. We were hoping to get the tires on and an alignment the same day, but we didn't finish the lift until late. Hopefully he got the tires on, I wanna see some pics too!
 
So we're wheeling this weekend then? :-)

Let's do it!

I may have to use this weekend to do some maintenance before the ttora takeover next weekend. I have to replace a cracked front brake line, fix my oil cooler that seems to be leaking coolant and getting worse as well as a few other little things like my muffler/tailpipe is smashed up against the frame and rattling like crazy. Maybe I can get it done fri or sat and wheel sun, but not sure if/when I'll be able to get to it or not yet.

Easy install?

Besides breaking one of the lower rear shock bolts (it couldn't handle John's superpower strength) and having to fly all over town trying to find an easy-out and a replacement bolt, it went pretty smooth. It was just time consuming with all the extra little stuff that comes along with the SS 1.2 kit. Turned out that we didn't even need the easy-out, I got the broken bolt out with just the drill in reverse.
