I had to take off the flap in front of the front tires, my mud flaps were already off.

Pretty sure one of the guys that used to work at the Lafayette location is running the Baton Rouge location now.

Good looking tires, MJ2. I've often wondered, though, if most people are aware of the difference between directional and non-directional tires as well as the advantages/disadvantages of each? Depending on the terrain a person drives on most of the time, this is an important consideration. I've had both. I had a set of directionals that wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cat's butt in reverse gear, but would climb a tree going forward. I've had non-directionals that were timid going forward or in reverse. I haul a lot of firewood out of the mountain and directionals work best on my old truck...if I don't hafta back up very often. There's a reason that tractor tires are directional and there's a reason tractors don't go as well in reverse as they do in forward. If I was doing a lot of off road driving through the mud and bog to get to my stand, I would go with directionals and have a winch...just in case I got stuck and couldn't back up.

LINK Interesting discussion here about these tires.

Now you have to get rid of the chrome bug deflector, the step bars, and get a color matched grill.

you can't beat that price bro. A bunch of places have it cheaper but the shipping for all 4 tires is like $150-180, I got free on wheels and tires

That's where I buy all my tires, even paying 25 a tire for install I still save $500 from the local Cooper dealer...

do a quick workup between DTD and TD.
You'll quickly realize they are hands down the cheapest of all of the places when you include taxes and shipping. Tire Rack has taxes in the state of Louisiana since they now have a warehouse in Shreveport.
