New tires for my M880-finally...

Postby m880cummins » Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:48 pm

Last week the brown truck dropped off what I used to only dream of. As soon as the truck left, I burned off my old tires (video soon) Finally got the money together and here's what it is!

Tires are BFG Mud Terrain KM2 255 85-16. I think these are the perfect size tires for a stock height 4x4 dodge. They clear all around, big and skinny tires. Size roughly translates to 33.5" by 10". Turned all the way, there is a 1/2" of space between the tire and drag link. Tires are surprisingly very quiet, handle nicely and not only do they look awesome and make my truck look like a military truck but it actually rides LESS like a military truck!Probably rides nicer as the old tires only weighed 20lbs a piece and these weigh roughly 50lbs a piece.

Alright, enough talk...

Belts showing after the burnout...made some weird sounds on the way to my buddies house to mount new ones...

Fronts done.

Of course! :D

Flexing out. Left rear tire just barely off the ground. Not bad for stock suspension.

All clean!

$744 on tire rack.

I wasn't allowed to pick them up from the warehouse so I had to have them shipped 30 miles :evil: +$100

What?!? That's pretty cheap on the price compared to what I'm priced down here. I've given a little more than that for some cheapO mudd dog brand mud tires :roll:

Well the 285 was another $150 and it is an inch wider and a half inch smaller in diameter.

I thought the price was good for them.
