Smile American Eagles 589

I know this wheels have a very classic look and good pricing as well. Maybe more common than rare. But let me tell when I saw them in person while braking apart the box were they came I couldn't stop smiling. The best thing is that my wife loves them more than the OEM. I will let you know more on maintenance on the long run.

Cool

Very nice, JMTruck. Overall, how does the truck perform now? Is there any big notice in loss of power or does the truck shift differently? I plan on doing some 33's next spring, but have my fingers crossed in the meantime, if BFG can get off their a$$ and make a 33/12.5/17 tire.

Thumbs up

Jupiterak

This BFG tires are incredible. Great cornering and ride smooth and straight as an arrow. Good traction when wet. Not easy to break them loose.

I notice more loss of power at high speed when the truck downshifts from overdrive when usually it didn't. From start there's not much difference, but it's there.

Good luck with the BFG 33x12.5R17 because if they have not announce it yet, usually it means it's going to take sometime. At least I know that the 37's are going to be ready by then if not already released. Those will come as soon as I finished the suspension lift.
