I am trying out the new Fuel M/T Tires 33x12.5x18

[2011T4RLE]

Alright guys I decided to take a chance on this relatively new offering from Fuel. I just had them mounted today so they have about 10 miles on them from the tire shop, to the gym, and then to my house. Here are my first impressions. Yes they look remarkably like the Toyo Open Country M/T. They do roar, but with the windows rolled up they don't sound much different than my Terra Grapplers. Handling is no different, it fells the same as it did, acceleration again is unchanged. Of course these is all gauged by the seat of my pants. They are sized 33x12.5x18 and yes they do rub in reverse at full lock, my Terra Grapplers did too, so again no real difference (its not that bad). I believe the metric equivalent is 305/60/18. I have included some pictures. Its raining here in the Tarheel state today so these are the best I can do. After some time has passed I will check in with you guys just to post my opinion. I plan on taking the Runner down to Uwharrie to try them out in the next couple of weeks on some trails.

I've never heard of Fuel tires before, but those look beefy as hell!

Nice. Man your truck must be hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmming with those huge tires!

They are definitely big and they also definitely hum. They are not THAT loud though. I tell you what is the most surprising thing about them so far is how nice they ride. They are very comfortable to ride on.

Here is another shot with the 4Runner cleaned up:

What kinda of deal are they running on the Fuel tires?
