tread wrights mounted

I got the new tires mounted today and took it for a spin. I actually notice no difference in acceleration or ride although they hum just a tiny bit. I'll know more tomorrow when I drive to work.

Now for some pictures







Not much of a change but I like it. On a funny note the spare tire was the original from 86' and had never been on the ground.

I'd say go with the 31's. Acceleration from a dead stop is easier (yup I'm surprised) and 3rd gear seems a little "longer". Instead of running through town in 4th gear at 2200 rpms it's easier to run in 3rd at about 2500. This is just an "I've driven it twice today with the new tires" response. I'll have more for you by the end of the week.

The ride didn't change a bit, so far.

That is a rather large question. I've read the reviews and as long as I air them down to about 15lbs I think I'll get good traction. I'll let you guys know more as I put soem miles on them.
