Can anyone report on how they handle wet roads. Someone on Facebook just posted that they were trash in the rain.

Seem pretty good, I have 2k miles on mine, it is cold and wet in MA right now. I had seen somewhere that most of the sizes were actually 3pmsf rated but a couple sizes didn’t pass the test so they couldn’t add that rating to them.

Got them installed. Still need to calibrate the wheel size. Amazon keeps delaying the bypass cable. They look great. Had them mounted on quadratec morphic 17x8.5 rims. Amazed by how quiet they are on the road. Much quieter than the ridge grapplers I had.

Welcome to the club. Looks nice!

If you give it a little too much gas from a stop the rear end breaks traction. FWIW I had Duratracs and they did the same. As long as you are smart about it you won't turn into a mustang leaving a car show, popping curbs. First truck I've owned, I'd imagine with the bed being light and really no weight in the rear all tires will do this.

I saw that same post.

Calibrated the computer to 34inch tires since they measure out around 34.5. GPS speed matches up with cruise control. Tested at 65, 70 and 75 miles per hour. So far I have not seen a performance hit. Still have 8th on the highway. Getting around 17 mpgs. Very impressive. Might not need a regear at this time but I can see the bene.

Worked Great

Going on 8,000 miles. One rotation and all looks as it did new. Very happy with these. Quite, looks great and performs with no issues other than a rock magnet!

Worked Great

Oh crap....where are you? Winter just came too quick. I'm ready for summer!!!

Stay warm and safe. Know how harsh that are can be!

Wow. I would not drive 70 in those conditions. But that is me, and clearly you have confidence in the tires. I'm impressed!

EDIT - just saw that you are from Fargo. Makes sense now. Unless you drive 70 anywhere north of Minneapolis you'll die of boredom. I am even more impressed. Searching for tires now!

During out ice storm here in Texas February I was out and about and they handled just fine. I didn't go on the interstates though. Average speed was about 40.

I just replaced mine yesterday. Ran 36000 miles no problem. I could have got another 5K probably but the weather is turning.
Rain? I saw zero issues, even worn. I ran mine at 34psi warmed up. They got noisy during the last 5K but I have a radio knob for that.
