They are some real nice looking wheels. No beadlocks, no slpit rims.. Big tires. Assuming they were balanced and used on the open road, the 395's themselves are not rated for much >50MPH.
In the courses I'm taking on the 5-tons, which use essentially the same but larger diameter tire, the instructor made a point about putting 70PSI in the tires for highway use to improve stability and vehicle control. He said 50 is too soft and squishy on vehicles with high center of gravity and that low air pressure such as the 50 PSI that CTIS permits has been found to contribute to rollovers during unexpected maneuvering. Having had the truck up to almost 70 downhill once by mistake, its behavior begins to get unruly and downright scary. All this said, I don't see why the rims would not be just fine for 50-55MPH use where the truck was designed to run.
Is it DOT or liability issues for not reccomending them for on-road use? If those are the only reasons, then people can engage in whatever imprudence they wish with no other concerns.
