I hear ya. I wish I would have had mine when we got 2 feet of snow in NWA a couple years ago!
For the first time ever, Central Arkansas got a ton of snow and NWA didn't. It was fun!!!! Now you know how we feel when you get snow and we don't. LOL!!

The ride quality is great. A little stiffer than my 32s but that's expected with the tougher sidewall. Can't really compare the MPG yet since my speedo hasn't been calibrated yet. I hope to order a Superchips Flashpac tomorrow to address that issue and do some other tuning. I will let you know the results. Stock, I got around 15 city and 17-18 hwy.

You have an 07-11 auto with 373? That's about where I'm at with that set up.

Any of you running 15" wheels? The tire cost savings is huge compared to 16 or 17. I'm seriously thinking if going that route. (Can get wheels and tires for about what tires will be on my factory steels)

Yeah, I think NWA is overdue for some ice or snow...been a couple yrs.

Yup! 15" cragar soft 8's. good wheels for great price! Good thing about 15s is how much extra sidewall you get on a 33 or 35 inch tire

I was looking at Jegs- they have about the best prices I've managed to find for wheels. I was looking at thier "jegs" brand steel soft 8's or even D windows but may end up with street locks in a 15". 3.75 BS, so plenty of room hopefully (do not want to grind the calipers at all) I'm not sure who manufactures them for them, but it has to be one of the main companies that just rebrands them. I'm sure if I dig around, i can find out.
