Pics of Treadwright Crawler M/T's 235/85
Maybe these pics will help someone else when shopping tires...thanks to Street Wolf for posting pics of these on his D2 because I was struggling to buy them based off of Treadwright's stock photo alone.
Info: these 235/85/16's are 32" tall. I've got a OME 2" (really 1.75ish) lift and needed the "camel cut" to stuff (done horribly but will clean up soon) and obviously have trimmed the front bumper - all necessary to clear tires AND have flexibility for off-road IMO.
The spare fit with a whole 1/4in to spare! Only slight rubbing at full lock so I will have to adjust the steering stops but haven't rubbed during daily use.
1st week review: was surprised at the minimal road noise, this is my daily driver and there's a slight hum to them, but I have to listen for it with the radio off. I was expecting much more of a mud tire road noise, but pleasantly surprised.

Showoff!
Looks really, really ballsy bro.
-So the cut was only in the rear huh. Not bad. Sure you can touch it up.
-Also man, your black painted wheels look great and I like how you keep the solids natural...altho that's probably the way we're doing it.
-You're making me rething going 245/75/16...although I can't touch the BFG's.
Have fun man!
And I trust you more cuz you say you don't know anything. It's the know-it-alls that freak me out.

Thanks, responses below.

Yeah, just two little cuts and a bend...but it was the bending part that I screwed!

Why thank you...quick sand block, rattle can of auto primer and then rattle can flat black (think I did high-temp stuff or something durable) they've held up great for a year and I can always rattle some touch up!
-You're making me rething going 245/75/16...although I can't touch the BFG's.
Good, glad I have you thinking. You can request what brand casings you want when ordering, FYI.

So where did you get them and how much were they?
So I am guessing those are retreads?
They do look good. The 235 width with the extra height can be much better than a wider track in some applications. Does it increase the ground clearance for the diff's?
They do look good. Are those the solid lug nuts from an earlier RR?

Answers in red.

Treadwright.com, $108/ea plus shipping

Yes, retreads.

I agree, I personally like the skinnier/taller tire on Rovers - I feel they look more "proper".
I've gained 1.5" of diff clearance since these are 32" tall and stock is 29" I believe.

Thanks, and no those are stock lugs with caps.
