Finished up all seven tires this morning. Got it down to about 45 minutes per tire including air up. Now to find time to get these mounted.

Got all 6 tires mounted on the truck Friday, now I need to figure out how to modify the spare tire carrier for the spare.

I think the 16s without runflat inserts are lighter than the 14s with them. Though maybe I was just tired at the end of the day when I had to move all the 14s.

Looks awesome, just to be clear you are running HEMTT wheels on the front right??

Getting close. Hopefully getting tires on the truck next week! Taking truck to a shop that has large equipment for installing very large tires.20191222_141509.jpgIMG_43801.jpg20191208_130215.jpg

This is one of those things that I won't do to my truck, but I enjoy watching other people do to their trucks. :)
Those tires are epic.

Your truck looks good! Big & beastly. I'm on the fence currently between staying with duals and using a 12.00-20 NDT or jumping up to 53s like yours or maybe getting singled out with 14.00-20 bridge truck tires...

I like that Iceman's and the truck in the video are 809's. The 939's get all the glory around here. ;)

I realize that from a technical aspect, the 939's are probably superior but the 809's are the "good" kind of ugly.
