Christmas came a bit early this year for the 80!
New Cooper STT 305/70/16, siped down the middle.
And love them or hate them projection head lamps.
I love them both.
Enjoy!

AMERICA'S TIRE CO = $975 for 5.

Lights at e-bay $136. I added Silverstar white bulbs for $40.

Action shot from today in the snow.
Not to deep but these MT's bite like crazy glue

Compared to OEM lights they are brighter and a more even spread. They are similar to my DD GX470 but on those I upgraded to a HID/xenon system. Which you can do with these H2 bulbs. If you could they would be an amazing deal. Some one has done this and Romer has a section on it in the FAQ. But overall I am pleased with the results of these projection lamps. They do not have the right plugs so you have to do some creative splicing or get the right sockets.

I'm about ready to bite the bullet on these tires, to replace my worn MT/Rs in 285/75R16.... Are there any issues at all with the wider 305/70 size? I think they look fantastic.

I have 3 inches lift.... is that enough to ensure sidewall clearance?

Do they throw mud on the side of the truck?

Any rubbing at full lock?

How do they feel on highway?

Thanks.

I run 45lbs of air on the street and 35 on the trail. Lower if rough.
Saw a 1 mpg decrease compared to AT Revo's.

I only have a 2.5 lift and no problem.

Do they throw mud on the side of the truck?
Did not notice anymore compared to AT's.

Any rubbing at full lock?
No.

How do they feel on highway?
Less noise than I thought, cruise nice at 70 mph. Just keep them aired up.

Thanks.
