They have a aggressive sidewall and tread pattern is really nice too. Look even better in person

Yeah getting good reviews too so far.... Have you tried balancing them yet? If so easy balance? My MTR's were a pain so much that last year when I went to Trail Ready beadlocks I never even balanced them lol

I will let you know how it goes when I get it back on the road. I was going to use balance beads, bit chickened out. Probably be next weekend before I get it on four wheels again

90% done. Ordered new Krawler joints from northridge 4x4 but only got 2 of the 4 UCA joints. Darn it! I called, they're going to handle it Monday.

Did Rubi's come with plastic side steps at one time? Tire/wheel combo looks great
