i never really like offroad wheels with chrome. just makes no sense

Shaolin Crane

Me neither, these have some pitting and flaking so I think next set of tires the rims will get polished by yours truly

Saweet. You stole those things. Two of those tires are worth more than $300.

those tires suck. I hate them. put a few thousand on them and they hum like a hooker.

Shaolin Crane

All quiet for me so far, and since they're well used I doubt they will make noise any time soon. Plus they gives good traction. Maybe its the dodge and not the tires :p

I have had a set of 315/75 R16 on my f-150 for over a year now with no complaints. Maybe you got a bad set?

in all honesty I have had them for about 2 years and they had 5k miles on them when i got them. noise didnt pop up until just recently. when I first put them on I loved them. now.....not so much.

I got 60k out of the ones on the back of the dually

Still plenty of tread left, 75% or so, just not as quiet as they used to be. Grip and tracking are still superb.

How's the wear on the ones you have that are noisy? Agressive tires are louder so it could be that the way yours are wearing is causing the noise. What type of truck are they on? What's done to the suspension?

87LX

Front tires. 04 dodge ram with stock suspension. First noticed the noise a couple of months ago.

Sure its not the voices in your head screaming at you?

04-27-2011, 02:46 PM
Pretty sure. Could be the boom boom pow from my stereo

Did you remeber to take the hooker out from under the back seat?

87LX
04-27-2011, 03:04 PM
Yeah, she has to work her way through college somehow.

Are you sure it's the tires and not a wheel bearing?

87LX
04-27-2011, 04:22 PM
we will know when I rotate them this weekend. for the miles it has I sure hope it isnt a bearing.
