Installed. Played around in the parking lot to make sure there were no rubbing issues running the 235x60's .5" high and .4" wider stance. No issue. Haven't driven but a block and around in the parking lot with them. Didn't notice them making any noise in that half block with my window all the way down, and they do have a nice aggressive look, which i've been going for. I've heard they just pick up gravel, well, mine didn't in my parking lot. It is pretty well packed though. Gonna go for a short drive to see how they do at 60-65 and on gravel and tared gravel. I kinda wish they were white lettered, but i don't need to brag about running bfg. Probably hurt my fuel economy a little compared to the primacy mxv4s, at 4lbs more a tire. Support michelin with either purchase i suppose.
And of course they'll get to go through a northern illinois winter and some driving up in northern wisconsin... i'll get them on the highway to 75-80 soon, just too tired to go drive that far right now. Of course i need to put a few hundred miles on them before i get them broken in and a real feel for them.
After driving around a bit, i found nothing but oiled gravel. I'll have to go out a bit further into the boonies to find some. They make more noise than my old tires, as expected, but nothing too annoying at 65mph.. i'm coming from one of the most quiet tires around, so i'm gonna notice the noise difference, it's not as bad as driving around in my friends trucks with BFG KO's and AT2s, (by far and wide KOs though, guess the ******** around here don't want to be called cheap for running AT2s, even if their trucks look like utter crap). It's not a knobby tire noise, it's the noise of having more rubber hitting the ground, kinda like riding around on slicks, though nowhere near as smooth. Initial impression is good, but.. lets wait till the mold goo wears away, some miles are put on them, and some different terrain has been tried. I'll take pictures later.. i need to sleep (and yeah, it's 11am and i'm saying i need to sleep)
