Thanks Tom. I will do that when I tear the truck down come spring or
early summer to detail it.
I can't stop saying enough good things about these BFGs. I tried to do
a donut yesterday in some fresh snow (maybe an inch). The Badyears
would have done it, no problem. My brother warned me about these BFGs,
saying they have a LOT of lateral bite. He was SOOOOO right. The whole
truck wanted to kick around and spin, but those tires simply would not
let it happen. Suffice to say, my donut days are over, I don't want to
wreck anything brcause the tires won't give.
