Not really a fan, maybe it would look better with a more aggresive tire. If you like it, thats all that matters

Aggressive tires always look good, but these GY SAs are for the roads in New England in winter, especially back and forth to ski in VT. The M/Ts go back on in the spring.

Have to agree him here. I really like the wheel, but not the tire. There are a lot of AT tires out there that do well in the snow if that was what you were going for. It also may have looked better if you went bigger rather then the stock size.

Yes. Yesterday (Sunday) in Vermont. Mostly ice. They worked great. Much better than the M/Ts. I went with these tires after researching them here in the Forum and several other places. They're top rated on snow and ice plus they're much quieter and ride better than the stock M/Ts (though there has been some b!tching elsewhere about tread life). Perfect for winter use on the road here. I know some of the guys here love a big tire, but I think these look great for what I'm using them for (and for the price - see first post).
