275/70r17 GYW SA Pictures!! Sorry for the delay.

How are these tires treating you after having them on for a couple months now.
Thinking real serious about getting these.
Do you notice a difference in ride with the LTs?
They are a fairly heavy tire, have you noticed a drop in MPG?

No complaints!! They really look great, I like them. Noise is nil & that was important to me.

Put them on when car was new soooo no real good MPG comparison data. On the highway at 70mph the car gets ~ 21 mpg.

I just drove Katemcy Rocks this past weekend. They really worked great for that.

This was my 1st crawling and I was amazed at what this car will climb. Can't tell you how many times I said "I can't do that" to the group of 7 jeeps i was with but the T4R did everything the jeeps did. WOW!!!! I was really impressed. My wife got some great video. At one point, two spotters grabbed my front fender and pulled it down. I went there to get a little wheeling experience with the new car before doing Colorado trails this coming Fall. I certainly got more than I bargained for.

Since this is a new car, I am thankfull no damages and not scratches. The people there were incredibly nice and helpful to this beginner.

Great!!!
I assume you read my old posts on this, where the inner lining in front of the front tire need to be moved forward about a 1/2 inch.
It's all plastic. Very easy. Just move the bottom screws.

Yes, I read your posts and tons of others. You put out some really good info. Thanks for the time and trouble.
I still have the stock tires on, but have removed the front mud flaps and cut the "triangles" in front of the front tires in anticipation of installing the GY SA's. I also have Spidertrax spacers so I still may have to pull the liners forward a little more. Don't want to cut them any higher than I already have.
Hopefully I'll get the tires in the next week or two.
 
love these pictures. i'm thinking of going with this exact tire and size when it's time for the next change. put on about 40k so far on my terra grapplers and they've been great! but want to try something different to compare them with in the future. they still have plenty of tread left but just thinking for the future i guess.

what's this about using 3 screws to move the front inner fender a bit? i've tried searching for hours and have only found references to doing it, but nothing that says what/how to do it. no pictures of it either...

Go towards the bottom of J.A.'s webpage. Good write-up and photos. :bigok:

I run GY's (but ATS's) as well and same size. Here is a pix of how they fit with a little lift. Just a bit more gap. I feel kind of stupid going bigger with gas prices going mental and all but I think I get 285 next year. I put less than 10k on the truck a year so I guess it's not too bad.
