Got some new Meats.

Got a heck of a deal on a set of Mickey Thompson Dick Cepek Radial FC-II's that I couldn't pass up. About 125 a tire, plus an 80 dollar rebate when you buy four, from M/T. They are 285's and they hum a bit, but wet/ dry/ and snow traction thus far (about 150 miles) has been superb. Oh, and these things LOVE MUD!

I need wheels with different offset, they rub the frame and the control arm ever so slightly at full lock, but I can deal with that temporarily.

Check out my pics, for a peek at them.

BTW, i know, my truck is REALLY dirty. and so are the tires and wheels. i'm in the rust belt, so everything is hard to keep clean this time of year.

Keep us informed about how they perform. I have been looking at Trxus MT and the FC II. Not sure which I like best. If you had the FC II in 265/75/16, do you think they would rub at all?

Thanks

[DevinSixtySeven]

actually, you just need an 8" wide rim. the 265/75/16 wouldnt rub on the stock rim...but if youre happy, who cares! looks real nice .

Yes, I think they look great. I think the FC II is what I'm looking for in a tire. Pretty agressive A/T; really what I need. I'd like to think that I would use an M/T enough to justify the compromised pavement performance, but I can't.

Hope those turn out great for you. You'll have maybe a thousand or so miles on 'em before I buy, so I'll check back with ya if that's cool.
