i have been thinking about these long and hard (I will not need new tires for 2 years or so) So I can't wait to see the long term results of these tires.....they look great on your LX. Please post reviews periodically with performance. I am leaning towards the MT MTZ , truxus mt's (they are cheap!), and the new cooper stt (i think stt is it). I am building the LX as an expeditioner. I want a tire good to great in snow, good (decent) on road, good wear, balance, etc, with good to great traction in multiple off road environments, and a good sidewall. that is all;)
 
youre a ballzy man flexing like that with those tires and stock suspension. in the pic you can see your flares waving goodbye:D. put the js on n itll be perfect.:beer:
 
So.. the gold rims :)
Did you paint them or how did ya do it. I think it would actually go well with the gold pack emblems, and then change the chrome around the grill to gold. Bling Bling yo
 
C'mon, how do they ride? Quiet at highway speed? How's the dry handing? :D

And for the post on "good to great snow tire"...dude, just get the trxus. They are unbelievable. I trust these tires with four little kids in any condition.

Paint - mostly to irritate my wife. The black treand is cool, but everyone is doing it.
 
I thought all LCs were supposed to have the white walls in? There is white under that blue right? I have some gold LC emblems I can send you to complete your pimp my ride look. It looks like a pretty good tire for the money.
 
Love the color of the LX. The J's and L's are the way to go. Did it a couple weeks ago and no regrets. Getting ready to head down to Moab with that set up. You'll also need to extend the bumpstops and roughly about .75-1" of spacers on the front springs with no bumpers or load in the back. Oh and the breaklines SHOULD be extended. Just to keep in mind that's all.

brake lines and bumpstops are on the way. I already have mr. gasket spacers all around, I'm going to leave them in the front, loose them in the back. Taking care of caster too.

LC's have the white walls in, Lexus, is a luxury vehicle, so they face out :)

I want everyone to know what tires I'm running - guess I still have a bit of "Look at Me" syndrome.

Eagle, how do those tires feel on the dry pavement and highway speeds, etc??

Yeah that is it. Like driving around in a 40 series with a motorcycle helmet on. Look at me, I'm a DORK!;p
 
Yer tires are inside out.
Cheers, Sean
 
Having white walls out on a Cruiser is like seeing Romer in a pink thong.......just not right! :eek: :censor: :princess:

Looks good! ;)
 
Tires look good, would be better w/out the white letters. The gold rims look worse than my chrome bling! :bling bling: :eek:

Got on the hwy today with it. They feel pretty good - for being inside out. They don't rumble as much as I thought they would, just a slight hummm. Looking forward to getting the suspension set up so I can play a little harder off-road.

I hate it when you put non-directional tires inside out :banana:

WTF with these stupid tire rules? :flipoff2:

If you want the tires too look good it has nothing to do with white outlines...take off the flares and do some gold durabak for fender outlines and paint that "L" on the grill pink :D
