You have to strip the clearcoat and then polish them 6 times a year after that.

i have 10 inch rims i dont want 285's

The rims were polished and clear coated from the factory how ever to use any chemical to clean them that was strong enough to clean them up was too harsh for the clear coat , i ended up stripping them with metal stripper from a welding shop and then polishing them ,

i have new center caps , lug nuts and bead locking bolts inroute that alone will make a big difference but i will take them off and clean the hell out of them .

oh and btw diesel trucks are getting 60,000 miles out of these tires , google it

I just went with a set of DynaPro ATM's for my truck, still swear by the Toyo's but needed something better for the ice...happy so far, and they were alot cheaper than most others...

But the price tag is different ...

They do look similar, but I have tried the Toyo A/T and I like these better, also deeper tread depth. Last Hankooks I ran were the best mileage tire I have had, but wernt any good in snow and ice.

One complaint though, and I seem to run into this all the time, no 10-ply E in my size. The weight capacity is only about 400# less than the Toyo M/T but I often need that 1600 #'s

I hate the M/T's on ice but at least if ya hit the ditch, you can drive back out

Just got my tires put on , Got them new from member PERFORMANCETRUCK he sells Master Craft tires and beat everyone around by $200

Just got back from Jason's shop where he mounted and balanced them for me . They are made by Cooper Tire. Its snowing like crazy here , i pulled out of his shop on new tires and right on to a State Route highway with 3" of fresh snow down ,,, not sure how they would do i tested them out , It was like i was glued to the road 55 MPH all the way home and i passed about 10 cars on my way .

I love them !!!

Got to my driveway and put it in 2wd to try to get stuck on my big mountain of a hill , I got on it hard with the Quad on Comp setting level 10 and dug 2 ruts all the way to the top



Thanks Jason !!!!

Guys if your looking for an Aggressive Looking all terrain tire with out sacrificing mileage i think i may of stumbled on to the perfect tire .. you dont have to take my word for it Google it

They are even 8 ply tires
