i bought them with about 14k and i put about 28k on them, my buddie is buying them off of me, they have at least another 10k in them. i would say you can ge every bit of 50k out of them which is awesome for a mud tire.

and fx4 for life 79, the diesels are the wheels i am going with its just hard finding a set. i literally have been hunting down wheels for the past couple weeks, i guess form what i have gathered, KMC RBP BMF and a couple other big named companies have all there wheels made over seas and the are not getting anymore in the US right now so whats here is here and thats it at the current time. I found a company in cali that has 2 XD diesels in 22X11 in a north carolina warehouse and 2 of them in a seattle warehouse.he said to me ( which may be a bit of exaderation) you honestly are buying the last set of new KMC XD deisels in 22X11's in the country right now. which is pretty messed up and scarry to see that our economy has effected something like wheels for lifted trucks.

That's some good mileage out of the MT's. I'm on my first set. How often were you doing rotations?

not that often i roated them twice, but since i was pushing my 6" and the alignments coulnt be completely perfect the insides wore a little quicker.

i didnt have this problem on the first 6-7K when i had the truck only at 6" but once i pushed it to 8" and got it realigned the guy wasnt able to set it perfectly due to not having enough room in the bolt hole to rotate it out more, so it was slightly off, so i just dismounted the fronts and swapped them inside out so the lower portion was now on the outside after about 15k.

but yeah they ride and wear like a dream compaired to other mud tires i have had, so in my opinion even though some tough guy off roaders will dissagree toyos are worth the money. i got plenty of life and they road super quiet and smooth for a mud tire on the street. keep in mind i never mud haha.

What kind of bs are the XD's going to have? I'm thinking you're going to have some fittment issues with that wide of 40 and only 11" of lift unless you have a high BS.

I was able to fit my 38x15.5's on 4.5" bs w/ my 8" Rize(really 8.5")but I did a bunch of trimming and it still rubbed a decent amount while turned and hitting bumps. I just swapped out today to a set of wheels w/ 6" bs and it fits like a glove! All my rubbing is gone as far as I can tell.

With a 22x11, you would need a 5" bs to fit like my 20x10's w/ 4.5" bs did. I'm thinking you need something like a 6" bs on those things to make it work but I could be wrong. Either way I think it's going to look sick.

I know Texan Aviator has 10"+ of lift w/ 38x15.5x20's and 4.5" bs and he still had to do some trimming to make it work. His truck see's offroad though. I know you'll be able to make it but it's gonna be rough. Take a look at his truck to see what yours is gonna look like as far as how much your tires are gonna stick out. Mine were way out there and I had aftermarket flares. It might look a little better with 11" and 40's though. FLspeed I think is his name, has the 12" Rize w/ 40x15.5x20's on the same XD's but in 20x10 w/ 4.5" bs and just the oem flares I think. That'll gve you a better glimpse into what your truck will look like.
