You gotta be kidding me! Under a hundred bucks a tire?! Now that's a deal! Where do get more info for those 225/75/16 tires? I'm like drooling over that deal right now.

I must say that these new tires are amazing both on and off road. Onroad, after 30mph, its a SMOOOOTH ride! It might be the size of the tire and the little effort I need to put in from the engine. Once they get rolling you can easy off the accl. a bit and cruise. They only feel a bit rough when traveling anywhere between 0-5 mph. They make very little road noise. I'm sure that if I would have bought them bigger and wider, they'd be louder. 245/75/16 is a PERFECT size for the Rover. During last weeks trip off road, they worked amazingly in the mud and the rear tires have already cleared their way through the fenders. They clean out really well even with thick dry mud. I think I'll be sticking to this size for a while! After I get my new gears I'll go bigger.

Lookin' good JC. But you've gotta take off those nasty rear mud flaps! You'll look like a Brit w/ flaps hanging down to the pavement. No inspection in FL, right?
