Wow, thanks.
They look way bigger in person. Pretty over the top to be honest. Is it worth dropping another $2k to step down to 34.5x15.5 AT tires? Not sure.

Maybe if somebody on here buys these monsters from me for a few hundred under what I paid, I’d pull the trigger

Definitely looks over the top. But tire diameter looks good. I don't think a similar width tire that is two inches shorter will look any less over the top. It may look worse.

I was going to ask if we needed the artistic filters! :LOL:

Did they steal your spare?

I would get stock back for 392 and roll with it. Doesn't really look amazing, at least to me.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
What size are the wheels? Actually don't mind the wider track as long as it doesn't contact suspension/fenders under flex. Didn't even know they still made tires any wider than 13.5 these days. I think the thing I'd be worried most is the tire quality, a lot of tires in these odd sizes are made by real cheap tire companies from China, so that may be a concern there (especially with the power you can get w/ the 392 under the hood).
On those 35s I posted above I ran a 15x10 and they fit well.

Yeah, these are Mickey Thompsons (US made) and 36.4x15.5 on a 20x12 wheel. ??

Love me some Mickeys, just put some on mine, but they're narrow 315/70/17s :)
Nice choice!

The tires that come closest to what I'd really want are the 35x13.5x17 and only Maxxis Razr MTs come in that. I wouldn't want to go to a bigger diameter wheel.
