I recently took a trip to Asheville NC and visited the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a great time!! The drive from Raleigh was 4.5 hours each way and we spent 2 days on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I estimate we spent about 6 hours of highway driving. Man I tell you these tires are awesome on road!! As I previously mentioned 4 of the 5 tires balanced with no wheel weights. The 5th tire had maybe an ounce or 2 on it. The tires are quiet, drive straight and there is ZERO radial pull. I did take a few rocky dirt roads and they handled well but unfortunately there was no real wheeling for me on this trip.

Stay tuned as I plan to get in the rocks at Uwharrie National Forest real soon!!

Here's a few pics for you:


Scrappy taking a poser shot!




Scrappy found a friend. A nice Mercedes Coup with a V12 engine.


Nice pic with leaves showing their fall colors. You can see the tires a little better in this pic.



Getting ready to hit Mount Mitchell, just checking out the Parkway on both sides of the road. We are on a ridge.


Another quick step at an overlook



Another poser shot and you can see those sexy Ridge Grapplers

Any chance you could take a measurement of the tires and give us an actual tire size. I think this is the way I want to go as I have a similar setup as you but I would feel better if I knew the actual tire size not just whats advertised.

Thanks

Yes, I will do that and let you know. I'll check to see if I have a tape measure in the Jeep at lunch.

Tires are quiet even though they have an aggressive lug pattern. They handle very well on wet pavement.
Here are a few more pics of the tires for you. Measurements are forth coming!!


Rear view. Flat fenders w/ 2.5" lift



Side view rear to show clearance between fender and tire as well as tire in wheel well. I trimmed my pinch seam.



Side view of front to show clearance between fender and tire. I have a stubby bumper, 1.5" wheel spacers and wheel with 4.75 back spacing so there is no rubbing.



Entire side view for reference.
