You gonna need a lift kit for those fenders lol

They remind me of your PPV wheels with the duratracs, looks tougher than a .29 cent steak.

Luckily they are easily removable and could use a mild redesign anyway. I'm just happy to have tires rated for 12k total load on it, those duratracs are known to have an amazingly tough sidewall for rock crawling and whatnot so it ought to handle highway and the occasional sandy trail. Plus taller means fewer wheel bearing rotations which may keep them alive longer.

They are awesome tires. Smoke good too!

Maybe I can 14bolt swap the trailer and run an additional drive shaft out to it for burn outs

So I bought a 2011 Mountaineer premier that needs a few things before I sell it and it has a set of 255/50/20 Michelin Defender LTX tires that are just a few months old on it, the PO said he just bought them in May. They are about 1" shorter and 1" narrower than my current Nittos. I'd love to try out a set of nice economy/highway tires instead of the wide kinda sticky Nittos but I'm worried the size difference will make them look stupid.

What do you guys think?

I'll snap pics of the truck later

Current is 285/50/20, yeah that looks pretty good although that truck is dropped more than mine. I'll probably do it just because the Nittos are getting old and a little noisier plus, it's hard to pass up $1k in top-quality tires.

Dewit IMO

I'll probably get michelins next time for the Yukon. The Bridgestone Alenza plus aren't quite what I expected, but I'm not swapping until they are worn out.

Here they are on the Mountaineer, the wheels on the mountaineer are some of the best wheels I've seen on a stock ford product. Just worried they will look stretched on my 8.5" wide wheels, the mountaineer is on 8.0s
