Can you make any comparisons on ride and noise of that tire?

I know it is too early for wear...

I have the same tires and love them. They ride great and have little road noise. I'd recommend them to anyone. To see them on my truck check out my gallery.

Hey guys thanks for all the comments. So far they are great. I wouldn't have a problem reccomending them to any one. As far as road noise, I can only here them a little when my windows are down. But Even still for a tire of this magnitude they arn't overly loud. I can still here that diesel motor that I love so much. I think that once they settle down It will be alot better. The baja claws I had were the same way. I have mine at 50 psi right now an it isnt to bad I am going to start to drop them to 45 and then 40 just to see what happens. And pulling a triler wasn't bad either. Mileage suffered a little but I think it is worth it for all the stares and jaws that drop. I had the ecu reflashed to 574 rpm for the tires and the moter droped 400 rpm at 70 now I am below 2000. I will keep every one informed as to everything else I find out about them. Cliff

574 SOUNDS A LITTLE LOW FOR 36'S...IS THAT NUMBER VERIFIED?

Well if the tires are the diameter listed on MT's website (35.9") then technically you would need an rpm of 562, so maybe a measured height would result in 574

Rolling heights has quite a bit of squash in them. BFG 37's (True height of 36.8 in)has a rev per mile of 565 45 mph.

My best guess is 580...interpolating from BFG's chart for a 36 in tire. Maybe 574 is right. Very small diffierence...

Wheels

Maybe I've missed it somewhere, but I didn't find the spec on the wheels anywhere. They look like Welds, but width/backspacing are they?

They look killer with that tire on there.

hey guys thanks for the comments. Cquestad that is what the tech at the dodge ******* computed he marded a spot on the tire and ground with chalk then I pulled the truck forward untill the tire made one compleate rotation. We then measured that didtance and then he divided ow may inches in a mile buy the numer we got and came up with 573. something not sure what so he put in 574 and so far it has been right on the money.
