hey, how do you like those tires? i've been running the same tire since summer and they are amazing. i have alittle over 12,000miles and they hardly signs of wear. they grip almost everywhere and i can leave my truck in 2wd in most cases. even in snow, they will spin for a sec then just lanuch forward. only problem i have with them is that they seem to loose chunks from the tread to easy when rock crawling. its great watching my truck go place the big boys go and i'm only on 31s. i used to run with guys on 36's and up and i could follow them down most trails. i get lots of complements from ppl about my tires, most ppl have never seen a balzer/jimmy 4dr lifted with mt tires.

I love them so far...I have the same ones on both my blazers. The tread wear is great and in the mud they are outstanding. I haven't had a chance to hit any rocks lately, but I will in early March =)

At Sway_89S10:

You should totally do it. The only drawback I have found with the upgrades (tires) is that at highway speeds it downshifts more often, but not enough to be an issue. Gas mileage didn't drop much either. If you wanted to Mod yours without any drawbacks 30x9.5's with a torsion bar crank to get the front off the ground shouldn't effect anything but the speedo.
