Yeah - the 4WheelOnline.com site has them for $932 out the door too using the 5% discount - good deal.
 
gotcha...by out the door i meant mounted/balanced and with lifetime rotations (and with the 8.5% tax we have in this city!)
 
Google is your friend:


Well based on this video I'd never buy them for snowy conditions, so I don't how he could say he was very happy with them? Oh well good luck to those that live in a truly winter environment and have these tires.

They look good I'll give you that, but not for me or where I live.

Thanks for the video though. (y)
 
You cannot see elevation in videos. I bet they will be just fine in the snow

I saw that video a long time ago. I wouldn’t make my decision off that video anyways. I drive in deeper snow than 3 inches. Besides I made it last year in New York with the crappy duelers. I’m sure these are a great upgrade compared to the Bridgestones.
 
Haha exactly....same with me, made it through a brutal minnesota winter last year on the dueler hl's. Excited to try these RG'S
 
Yeah I've also heard good things about the Nittos - last year I also had the Duelers
 
My point was that there were lots of forums, videos, etc - that was just one of them.
 
Well they came in!!! Getting them done on Monday. Can’t wait to try these tires out in the snow see how they handle.
 
Oh Man!!! They are on and so far I love them!!! Love the look of them , they are not as loud As I thought they would be so that’s a plus. Next is to try them out in some nasty winter roads. They do rub at full turn backing up but that’s what everyone said anyways. I will fix that problem whenever bilstein gets their crap together and makes those 5100 shocks for our rams. Not a spacer guy to level a truck. I’m glad I got the ridge grapplers. At least now I can get up those back trails to my hunting spots so I don’t have to walk as far.

Yeah I've had mine on for about a month and only had them rub 2 times

Interested in the Bilstein shocks too
 
We had some pretty light snow last week in MN and I was sliding around pretty good with these tires. A little disappointed, but I did air them down to 35 psi and they seemed to be doing a lot better. I dont know if it was all in my head because I want to like these tires so bad, or it actually improved the handling in the snow. Will have to wait and see when it snows next time. Discount tire said they would swap them out for a different set of tires if they dont work out.
 
Yea discount tire is AWESOME. I wasn't digging the hum and tried psi from 32-40 could not get rid of it...stopped in to discuss and the manager says "no problem why not try something else"?! So got a full refund and was going to go with K02 but last minute decided on Cooper AT3 4S. Couldn't be happier PLUS put $250 back in my pocket!!
