Post your thoughts on them. I know a few have them now and Im interested to see how you all like them. Im thinking about using them on my next wheel/tire combo. They are a damn good price just wondering if the performance is there.

I love mine. Not really THAT bad on traction, but the tread wear is AWESOME!! I will replace my next tires with these for sure.

Good price. Look great. Ride and performance is outstanding. Flat spot badly when they sit for a day or two. Dry traction for me not much better than the stockers they replaced. Wet traction is much improved.

How long does it take to get the flat spot out, my truck will sit regularly for 2weeks at a time, sometimes.

Usually they run out after maybe 5 miles of driving.

Hmm, wonder why it does that, really makes me wonder what will happen to them if they sit for a 2 weeks or more like mine will do fairly often. Is it really noticeable or just kinda like the tires are out of balance for a few miles?

Its bad. The steering wheel and whole truck shake. I let mine sit for weeks at a time also. It's not any worse after sitting for a long time nor does it take any longer to work out. Just happens as quickly as sitting for a couple days. Especially when its cold.

No flat spots with my tires. Truck has sat for........month, maybe longer. Haven't noticed any flat spots.
