New AT2's (305's) and BJ's installed, its so quiet!

Hi,

Posted about needed new BJ's and what to go with, at the end of the day I just spent the $100 deductible and had OE's done (might be trading in next winter before the Added care is done). They also did my front pinion seal while they were there as it had progress from a little drip to a bit wet.

I also had enough of the mud tire noise on my Nitto Trails so I had some 305-70-17 toyo AT2's installed (34-12.50, extreme). WOW is all I can say, they are so much smoother going down the road, and the road noise is back to bearable level!

So far I only have maybe 25 miles on them and they do have a little road noise but no where near the bogger sound I was getting at 1/2 worn....and the 45mph hop I was getting is gone, and no longer shaking at 55+. I will honestly miss the sidewall, it really did make the truck look perfect, as long as these are good in the snow I won't have any complaints.

Also, it looks like I might be having one tire replaced as out of round, (2) tires took no weight, (1) tires took 3oz, (1) tire took 8+oz. Its smooth up to 65 and then has some vibration. Toyo/tread depot are gonna cover a new tire, no charge to me other then M&B.

I will try and get pics this weekend, the truck is dirty.

Sometimes, all you need is a few BJ's to smooth things out. :lol: :lol:

Cheers!
