Looks nice! With the lift and bigger tires, it definitely makes it look good.

I have 10,000 miles on mine so far and they look brand new (I do a 5-tire rotation every 3,000 miles).
Do you run your 285s on 17x9 wheels?

Mambas are nice. I just recently came across the brand. I think I'm gonna end up doing 17x9 Moto Metal 951s.

Thanks. That snow is a few months old now... However, we did have a very mild summer down here, so I'm hoping that means more snow this year. Hopefully you guys will get some too.

The Mamba wheels are nice. I'm not sure if I'll keep them, though. I'm debating on jumping up to 35's in a few years when these wear out, and from everything I've seen, 35's won't go on anything but 8.5" and larger rims. I was looking at going with 35" Duratracs, but their minimum rim width is 8.5".
