I have another set of Laramie 20’s with the Ridge Grapplers that will be my winter tire set after I black them out. Has anyone used plastic dip on wheels here and how has it turned out? Or should I paint them or have them painted?
I saw a set of those wheels powder coated gloss black and they looked real good! Cost a bit more obviously but I think it would be worth it

Say a prayer to your God if you run those tires this winter

Rubber compound not grippy enough or just balding?
Balding on inner edge, like too much camber, the rubber is probably starting to harden they look like they have some age

How many miles did you get before having issues?
Not the miles as much as the years, 4-5 you can see evidence of hardening like dry rot, little cracks in the sidewall
