Not intentionally. I don't really like going THAT fast with the rake on my alignment so yeah, I don't go for the ton.
I looked the other day because the scheduled maintenance for UAE GX's has criteria for 80% of max speed for over 2 hours. But what the hell number is that?
Doing some digging it appears it has a speed limiter of 110 mph so 80% would be 88 mph. Some say it is floaty at 110, some others say it is fine.
I think its governed to somewhere between 105 and 115 but not sure which. I've taken 100 a few times on empty highways and it's not particularly dramatic even with a lift and 33s. When the GX was stock/just had 265/70/17 Pirellis it was quite easy to accidentally find myself cruising at 90 if there were no cars around. Even with all my mods, the GX eats up highway miles really well but you have to try to go more than 80 now.
Graduate of Midland High checking in. Loop 250 or Daytona Qualifying, it's hard to tell.Bro needs to meet West Texas
I think I have seen the 112MPH in multiple places on the GX 470
GX 460 appears to be 112MPH as well / EDIT: My FSM says 112MPH (180 km/h)
I don't believe I have seen the 460 or 470 listed below 110 or higher than 112MPH
I see the GX 550 is governed to 105 MPH

Actually I am seeing 109 .. the 112 was for the 1GR-FE (Chinese market GX 400)

They are on. They actually feel more solid than the Revos. Can't wait to get them on the trail
Lifetime fluid they say...I looked the other day because the scheduled maintenance for UAE GX's has criteria for 80% of max speed for over 2 hours. But what the hell number is that?

Pretty tame tread pattern. Should be very quiet on the road, even when they start wearing down.
Don't think I'd do much mud or rock with them. But what you're describing them for, should be awesome!

Once I leave work I will take a picture. Just tested them on gravel and they work well. Didn't push them, yet.
Try to find some snow and see if they can Hakk it.
Try the veal, I'm here all week.

Tires drive great, running them at 35 PSI. Relatively quiet. Just barely notice the increased height and tire weight through driving dynamics. There is no denying that blizzaks are softer and there will be some applications that favor that. But it doesn't get that cold here, so no regrets.
Now just have to wait for Mother Nature to show her frigid b@#$ side and make the sky fall.

I prefer snowmobile racing studs, work great on pack boots when blowing snow in the driveway
Kold Kutters, racing sticker included. Dog poo between the treads is not included and is BYO.

They look directional, so have to be careful with rotations you don't get some knuckle head mounting them backwards.
What do you do about a spare? Since your spare will only be good for one side or the other? Or just deal with it to get you home or the nearest tire shop?

I have one of the MTRs that's size appropriate for a spare. I am not sure what I will do when I jump to to 34s for summer tires
