unfortunately we had to put off the bj spacers due to the rims not having the proper backspacing to get the tires to clear the upper a-arms.
now he's in a quandry- wheel spacers or new rims... but he's partial to the stock rims... so... to be continued.

And yes, they are all terrains, they are a bit more on the "terrain" side then most other A/T's which I like, but they offer a 3 ply sidewall and a semi aggresive tread pattern.
All in all im excited with the buy.

Oh and toyota4x4907...How long did yours last you ? This is the first time i've ever bought tires and i have no clue

To be honest, I couldn't tell you exactly. I bought them used in march with less than 10K miles on them....my odometer quit working at 142282 miles in may, and I drive a LOT..I bet about 18K miles.... I'm sure they will last 35K+ miles.
I agree with Just_a_22re:They aren't too great in the mud but are great on ice and snow!

Scuba/Abe,
Did ya'll decided what to do about the tires hitting the upper A arms? Oh and are those the srock rims for the truck? I only ask because I kept my stock rims and after the BJ install I have about 1/2" of clearance between the tire and upper A. Was your tire hitting Scuba or was it just really close?

Thanks.

love the mod. I have a stuffed ladybug that ended up in my first truck somehow... not really sure how though. Anyway, it has stuck around in my current truck too.
