Finally got new wheels and tires!

Here are some pics of the new wheels, tires and Geiser springs. Left them on low perch. The trim rings are from OMF, center caps from Chief Machining. Installed camber bolt kit along with rebuilt shocks from Shocks by Hammer. Brian over at SBH is a great guy.

Sweet! I’m planning similar route.

Nice looking setup with the wheels and tires. Must do a lot of mudding. How are those tires on the pavement?

Yeah looks good, like the set up, ready for some off roading!!

I do a lot of off-roading, in aired down situations. These tires were designed specifically for that. They flex and mold around obstacles better than any tire out there. Super tough sidewalls too. We have a lot of sharp rocks in our area of the desert. On the road they are quiet—not as quiet as A/Ts but good for aggressive tread. This new design is pretty awesome. They balanced with very little weight.

Sweeeeeet. The SVC caps top off the rims. Great choice, my compliments.

And you say those tires are quiet on pavement? I will need a new set of tires soon as the originals have 40k on them. Easy 5k left, maybe 10k. These look like they would make some noise with that aggressive tread. How do they compare to the original TA2's on noise.

They are not that quiet, no. You can hear them on the highway but it’s bearable. It’s a compromise. I love the look, but if I was buying with noise as a top priority I would go KO3. For example, I don’t drive freeway daily. If I did, I think I’d go KO3.

Thanks, man. I appreciate the feedback.
