I just had these installed this morning, 265/75's. They look great compared to the stock crappy tires. So far no rubbing at full turn. I'm sure they'll rub when compressed but next week I'll be putting on SAWs up front and OME in the rear so that should eliminate that. I got them out the door for $679. Seems pretty fair to me. I put a link for the photos below. I just set it up so if there are any issues with the pics please let me know.

Ahhh, there's nothing better than a new set of shoes. They look great. I noticed however that it took a lot of weight to balance them on your rims. Do they shake any?

I haven't had them on the highway yet but around town, up to 55mph, no shaking. It took 3 ounces on the front pass and rear drivers side, 1 ounce on front drivers side and 4.5 ounces on rear pass side. I've never had MT's before and was expecting a lot of noise. These are surprisingly quiet, just a nice mild hum.

Don't worry, they'll get louder as the lugs wear and get uneven

I just did a little more testing and there is some slight rubbing at full turn in both directions. How high is your truck lifted and did that eliminate the rubbing?

Jason Demello cranked mine up pretty high and at full lock, i could barely hear some slight rubbing, but couldnt figure it out until i removed my lower valance... i have no rubbing whatsoever now... took this pic yesterday...

I had some Goodrich M/Ts and the Firestone M/Ts and they were both about equal performance wise. I now run some Firestone LEs, due to college commuting, and they are a great tire. I swear, with all this Firestone talk, you'd think we forgot all about that recall stuff a few years back. As long as mine don't burst into flames or anything, I'll probably buy another set of LEs.

i was thinkin the same thing when i bought these tires, but i went on a very reliable recommendation and so far so good...

I got the Firestones about 6 months ago. They are awesome offroad on rocky trails too, but like any other M/T, they are soft. Lots of chunks out of the knobs. Just remember ROTATE ROTATE every 2k miles!!!!!
