Oh yeah I know it would be slow moving but I've got to get a set for my suburban anyways, I just wanted to see how much room there was in those fenderwells.

My truck will takeoff and spin the tire(s) with 37's and 3:55 gears just by letting off the clutch in 1st.
And it's kind starting to **** me off cause it's hard to creep with my truck.
Only thing I don't like about the tires is the treads get packed with mud pretty easy, but other than that they are a great tire that dig into the ground.

and slow as a snail
unless you've been in combat using a HUMVEE, the trash talk in unwarranted. They are a heck of alot better than the old jeeps but they aren't a M1 Abrams tank either. For what they are, they do damn good. why to you think the bad guys are having to hotwire a 500lb bombs to take them out? they've figured out RPG's aren't a guarantee to take out a HUMVEE.

cool my truck is 2wd just whant a set of cheep tires for now, and i have 4:10's in my truck and would like a little less rpm on the highway
actually, the military doesn't use them anymore. they have a new more agressive tire that is near 400 a tire to buy.. apparently our financial crisis doesn't affect the military. but i'm not complaining, if it saves more lives having better tires then I'm all for it.
As for my opinion regarding 4.10s with 36s, I guess I just expect more.. I'm used to cummins and powerstrokes, getting into a turbo idi on 36s is a bit of a difference. Does a lot of downshifting, but then again my transmission has issues so maybe that's the weak point right now. And 14.5" wide super swampers are heavy tires. 4.56s would be nice but I can't afford a grand in ring and pinion sets and kits.
And as far as trash talking humvees, they are turds.. They are great trucks other than the powertrain. loaded down they are slow. Should be turbo idis in those humvees, not pos chevy diesels.

they got decent once international started building the blocks for those 6.5's
I've been running these tires for over 12 years. I like them. I'm having no issues running these with 3.55's. But, I have a turbo and Moose fuel.

^thats one good looking truck!
Thanks! It has been a great truck to me so far. I will be swapping a DT466 under the hood in the future. I hope it will be quite the fun toy when I get to that project.
