I like the black look too, but it has pros and cons

cons: gets dirty quick, can be hot (not bad though), scratches show like nothing

pros: looks awesome, don't have to worry about overspray when painting, and did i mention looks awesome.

I am going to be taking my first long adventure with these new tires, heading up to Knoxville for the GF

I found one thing out today, with my flexy flexy lift my rear driveshaft is making friends with my gas tank skid

I have heard of this happening before.

dents, dings, and minor rust. the bumpers are from an after market company that swears they come black primer. so i thought that would look cool and then just clear the flat primer for a different look.

They have a 15x7 rim that looks exactly like it, it was the spare on tacos , and i wouldnt hesitate to run a 12.5" wide tire on a 7" rim.

I expect that you'll love the Bighorns. I love mine. They ride very well for an aggressive tire. I used airsoft B.B.s to balance mine and have not seen a single vibration problem. It would also fix that wheel weight color problem. It looks great, man.

Yep, just got done with my first good trip on the tires, about 90 miles to knoxville. they ride really nice, and not that much noise at all. Already painted the wheel weights So far I am getting the same benchmarks in mileage as i was with the 32's.

Just can't wait to take these babies out on the trail.
