Also, as an FYI - Stick on weights inside the wheel will still clear the calipers!
Looks great! What else have you done besides the tires and wheels?

I added a Teraflex BB the evening before those pictures. Also unseen is a Superchips Flashpaq.

Thanks for the compliment!

We currently have about an inch of solid ice covering most road surfaces, with snow on top. These tires are amazing! The stopping traction is as good as the 1yr old Bridgestone Blizzaks on my wife's Camry!

Anyone in snow country would definitely benefit from a set of these tires. And they look much more aggressive in person. I can lay my finger in all the big grooves. Much better than the 245's on display in the Discount Tire store.

Yes, The 295/65R18 DuraTrac would be a great size to run on your stock 18" wheels. This size is about 33" tall and 11.6" wide (Calculated).

Here's a link for price and availability, call in your order, mention this website and we'll give you $50.00 off your total instantly if you purchase 5 tires:

I'm going to order the MB's and the 35X12.50R15 KM2's next Tuesday (Jan 11th). I know there is probably no way to tell, but do you think they would make it to Shreveport by that Friday. (We have a trip planned to the Superlift ORV park in Hot Springs on Sat and sunday).

Thanks for your write up, I was just about to dish out way more money to put 35/1250/17's on...now I get rims and tires!
