Looks good. What suspension are you running?

Hey I run Goodyear 33" by 11.5" MTR Kevlar's. They barely hummmmmm at all. I have 13000 miles on them and have a solid amount of life left on them. Went to Rausch creek and did the intermediate trails and had no problems. But I haven't been on sand with them too much, so I can not offer input there.

I have these as well. Contact patch is 10", sidewall to sidewall 11.5" as mentioned, run 34" tall @ 32#. Great tire, wear well. Have about 17,000 km on them and still have 14/32s left. I siped and grooved mine for better traction on slick rocks and roads.
