Got new rubber! Decided to go for the Cooper Definity Dakota M/T 30x9.5x15. I read good reviews and the price was unbeatable ($135ea). Will test them out tomorrow! Here is a pic from earlier today before new tires:

The rims turned out very nice. I've been looking to do that myself and now I have some insight and motivation. Nice work
