Wear will be an interesting question, we will just have to see how they go, there is no noise from them all at 35Mph so sorry, no real data on that yet and Cabell, I'll get a few photo's before the end of the weekend and get them off to you. I have to get oil today and slip my axles back in, I was going to fix the weeping pinion seal but I will wait until I get a 3/4 drive tension wrench and a 1 1/4' socket to suit then I will do a bulk seal and oil change on the vehicle and re-change the oil in the rear diff to make sure it's purged as much of anything that does not belong as it can, I'll also slip some friction additives in there at the same time.

I may? run them at the correct 50psi but I will run some chalk pen across the tread and see what they are running on the road like to find the correct pressure for the truck's weight.
Whaddya think?? - I think they look pretty darned good 8)

Tires look great. I like the chain and lock on the jerry can. There's always some jerk out there that
thinks they need your jerry can and gas more than you need it. Same goes for pioneer tools.

Yep, I run the 10 litre cans and they are not a replaceable item plus of course there is the loss of the fuel too that ticks you off. I had Gerry cans stolen off my old 4wd years back so I got 2 old cans, spruced them up, filled them half with crappy fuel from an old truck, thinners, about half a gallon each from my old nitro methane glow plug engine fuel stock and a healthy dose of smoke dye (pink), the old cans were stolen, the problem never occurred again and I did hear a couple of stories about one of the local drug sucking deadbeats doing his engine in while racing about the streets late at night with a mysterious coloured smoke emanating from it and pretty well junked, oh - did I mention the syrup dissolved in the fuel.....?????? :?

Tony, The tyres look fantastic. I wish they sold those here. You should get plenty of good travels out of those skins.
