Was wondering if you've ever measured the tire once it's mounted? I've read that these at2s run a little big. Would love to see what they look like on your rig!View attachment 1427624 View attachment 1427623 Airing down notated for sure; and looking at the chunk/slice is a bit perplexing. Seems if the tire is rotating the cut would be horizontal, not so vertically extreme as it is. Almost as if the chunk caused the sidewall to split.
Either way I placed a set of 295/75/16 General Grabber AT2's on today. I realize some people love these, and some can't seem to stand them. Overall great reviews though. I'll definitely run them around 15-20psi when out on days like this.
Had Kauffman Tire examine the cut and notate the findings on my receipt for the Deegan 38's. Completely cosmetic and none of the damage has affected the integrity of the tire itself.
I'm still impressed with the Deegan 38 though. Great looking tire and got me through aton of MUD and rough terrain during this past trip.
Had 295/75/16 Toyo AT2 Extreme's on my other 100 and I have to say it's the right tire size for this vehicle in my opinion. Just not a lot of choices out there unfortunately.
I'm still gonna try and warranty the Deegan.
