Default New Tires - RRC on 235/85/16s

I picked up a set of Maxxis Bighorns on Friday. I haven't gotten to ride them around much or wheel them yet, but my first impressions are that I am going to love these. I've also determined I must have lost a wheel weight at some point as ride smoother than my old "street" ATs. I think this is the perfect size for my HD RTE 2" lift. I haven't noticed any significant drain on the old 3.5l. There is a slight rub at full lock, but will be fine once I adjust the steering stops.

Nice tires! They are looking great. How much it cost to you?

Looks great on the truck. I've got a 94' RRC LWB with 265's on a 2" lift, and they're too big. The 235 is the perfect size with that size lift. Looks completely balanced from all angles. Nice Rover!
