Default Look at these meats...

I just ordered these through a local tire shop this past Saturday. The tread on them is really aggressive-looking IMO...not a bad thing either



Unfortunately, the rear tires are on backorder for up to 4 weeks (fronts are in stock with my name attached to them). Anyone else running these? What's your experience with them?

Sweet!

I've already got mine listed in my sig even though they're not installed (only because I've paid for them already )

How would these compare to Nitto 555RII for handling and straight line acceleration, tread wear, and ride comfort.
