Finally got around to mounting these. 34/9 TSL narrow. They are stupid loud, and ride like shit on the road. But I here they're tits in the dirt.. so we'll see.. They measure almost exactly 34" as they sit mounted on the truck. The advertised height of 33.8 is spot on.

No they have weights, but are painted black, except the passenger rear that the guy couldnt get right. It was calling for 8oz! So I may take it somewhere else to see if they can do better. I havent been past 50mph.. but even that was kinda scary with no sway bars! Only vibrations happen at 30mph and below. smooths out past that. But man are they LOUD!!! I may play with air pressures to see if that makes a difference in the ride.

I think someone told you they would be loud. :D But it's hard to believe how loud until you actually drive with them. If they are like mine they will smooth out above 60 and get quieter around 70. Which I'm not sure is a good thing.

As far as air pressure, I've run them from 15-35 psi and have never noticed much of a difference.

I had a set of those waaay back. Finally sold them to a friend as I could never get used to the feeling of "sliding" thru corners because of the bias ply. But man they would climb almost anything! Rig looks great.:patriot:

I had those on my....the noise and handling wasn't as bad as the flat spots on cold mornings. It would take about 2 miles before they would round out......until then it was pretty brutal....lol

I finally drove the truck this weekend for the first time since I had them mounted.. The flats spots were annoying, but they eventually became round.. the noise is unreal! I'm also not running sway bars so it's extra sketchy on any bends in the road.. I haven't felt safe running them faster than 55mph.. Hopefully they're as badass in the dirt as I hear they are!

What air pressure did you run on the street? I had 40 lbs to start.. went down to 36 and noticed better stability

I ran those tires for a couple years. I got about 20k out of them before one was damaged beyond repair. When I put KM2's on the truck I couldn't even hear them. I don't think I'd ever run them as a daily driven tire again. The giant side lugs are great off road though.

I really only drive this truck to go camping and wheeling once a month.. but thats 100 miles each way so Im sure it will just take a little getting used to.

My daily driver is the complete opposite of this truck.. quiet,comfortable, economical, quick, low to the ground! :rofl:
