Has anyone ran these tires, they look new...well at least I have never seen them. Im looking at the 285/70. Anyone have a photo??? How have they held up??? Do they wear well???

They look sweet. I wish I wasn't busted-broke, I'd love a set for my pickup.

I feel you. I'd be saving for a bit, but they may be worth it. However, Im not to excited about the RWL.

and the fact they're all E rated...

Good looking tire, and undoubtedly will out perform a lot of top end tires. Our trucks just aren't heavy enough to really utilize an E rated tire. In return, it's usually a rougher ride. Especially with how aggressive these are.

 

[KidVermicious]

That's a matter of preference though. I think a slightly harsher ride is a small trade for the peace of mind. Where I have a choice I won't ever run anything but E rated tires on a truck I play in.

 

[ajonesnv]

I agree...I load up pretty heavy on trips and still air down, so the stronger side wall gives me peace of mind.

I read they are very heavy though, but look awesome.

Not everyone one here is running 35's on their daily though.. The step up from 33's to 35's is a big one. I can see using an E rated 33 not being such a huge deal, but for as long as I'm buying tires for my truck (35's), I'll never daily a 35" E rated tire again. Only exception is if they were trail tires only and I swapped them on for events or something.

I've also heard they're going to be heavy tires, but no confirmation on that.

I've got the 305/70/16s on my Tacoma. They are wider than my buddy's 35/12.50/17 mtrs and taller than my old 295/75/16 Hankooks. They balanced out awesome and ride nice on the street so far after a week. I'll have a better report after the Summit next weekend.

This tire is incredible looking in person, my closest friends run the mtr, the Hankook Mt, and the Nitto Trail Grappler and they have all said they prefer the look and siping of the new Pro to their own tires.

Oh yeah, $70 rebate from Cooper right now also.

Bump. Anyone else locked this tire in yet? Trying to decide if I am going to pull the trigger on these or the Nitto Trails. 305 (and wide by spec) on these may take the prize for me.
