    295/55/20 Trail Graps on Tahoe's... on a GMC.

    Well, I just got back from getting my new tarz mounted up, and I must say that I am impressed, I love them! I've only driven a couple miles as I'm at work right now, but they seem decently quiet and ride nice for an MT. I'm on STOCK suspension right now, and I'm only rubbing at full lock but I've got a RC 2" level in the mail that will be going in on Fri or Sat. Onwards to the crappy cell phone pics (I'll try to get some better ones up later after it gets cleaned up)...

    Great tires. Mine have over 30k and just a hair under 1/2 tread.

    Great tires.

    Look Great in your truck.

    I'm close to buying a new set of tires for a truck. I've been using Terra grappler with great results.

    But I really like the hardcore design of the Trail Grappler. What makes me hold, is the sound quality it will have on road. My driving is 70 on road 30 off road (mild)

    Is there any significant in cab noise coming from the tires in highway use?

    Well I always thought those wheels looked cool but I've never seen them on a truck with the right tires. They look great! When my truck needs tires in the spring I'm going to do the same thing. Your truck is my favorite NNBS I love the white and chrome, so clean!

    Nice! Good to hear that these have decent longevity, I had heard nothing but good things.

    Thank you, I'm definitely very happy with them. As far as noise, they are an MT so they are a bit louder than my old Bridgestone's, but they are definitely the quitest MT I've heard and nothing that is annoying when you have the stereo turned up a bit. They seem to quiet down after about 40 mph or so, at least that's been my experience so far.

    Wow, thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. I can't wait for winter to come so I can play in the snow, I've heard these do awesome in the deep stuff. I was planning on color matching the bumpers for a while, but I think I like the mix of white and chrome as well.

    Not a big chrome fan but it definitely seems more subtle on the white. I like it

    Looks good man. I was really hoping you would go the other way with your truck I always thought that truck would look awesome down low on the ground but it does look good now, and with the leveling kit on there it will look even better.

    Thanks man, I think I'm going to get the lower front bumper piece, rear bumper plastics, and tailgate cover colormatched, then get some tow mirrors and have those painted as well, I'm not a fan of all the black plastic.

    Thanks Trav, I was VERY close to ordering a McG 4/7 last week since I thought I was going to be getting some GMC 20s, but the deal with the wheels fell through and I got a decent price on these tires, so I'm really happy either way. I think this will better suit me for the Maine winters though. Can't wait to put the leveling kit on.
