got them put on. two of them took a lot of weight to balance. my first impression was they were soft. so i thought they had to little air pressure but when i checked they had 40 in them. i upped that to 46 and it seems to be better now. going from the 245 long trail's these are a lot louder and at least twice as heavy per tire. my speedometer is correct now.

Look great man. Take a few more on a paved road if you can.

i googled some pressures for D rated and most what i found said to run 50psi.

 

[Smasal]

Those look amazing man. Nice job. And I concur on the 50psi. It will hopefully help with that "heavy" feeling that you talk about. Because you won't be pushing the vehicle as much as rolling.

Those look excellent. I will be needing some new summer tires next year, looking to go to a 285 tho, interested in hearing how these treat ya. BTW we have the exact same paint color schemes on our hoes, first time I have seen a twin of mine.

had a slow leak and took it to get checked. turns out a patch was already in it and leaking. they put a new patch in and so hopefully wont have any more issues.

A leak from Treadwright??

 

[arctic388]

Yep. It was a very small hole the tire shop put it in a big water tub to find leak. When he dismounted tire it was an old patch in it. He buffed it out and put a new patch in. I hope it holds.
