    Havent noticed any noise at all. These weigh in at 65# vs the 58# of the BFG I was running. Going off manufacture specs for the sizes I was running, as I didn't weigh them myself. Added rotational mass should have an effect on performance, but not sure to what degree. I should know more after a week of driving.

    Cool. Can't see ya losing a whole lot of MPGs. I'm sure it'll be minimal. Road noise is my issue. I know you have pretty much the same commute I have. High speed highway miles. Not sure if you've ever driven that, in New Jersey in 6am rush hour traffic. Ex. 3 lanes, I'm in the right lane. Douche bag runs up on me and flashes his beams at me. Seriously. Just today. Same 3 lanes. Ass hole passed me on the shoulder. Point being. I need to be able to hear my music. It's the only thing that keeps me from....well. I've been in jail. Not a pleasant place to spend your vacation. :ballchain:.

    Oh yeah. Same here. I gotta hear my news, and drink my coffee. Didn't notice any noise today on the freeway, but was only going 60. Speed limit on my commute is about 65/70, so we'll see how it is tomorrow.

    Same here. Speed limit is 65. That's what I do. And not cause I'm an old fart and can't drive. Lol. . It's cause I'm in no hurry to get to work. And I get my best MPGs. And douche bags that over slept, or love their jobs, lolll. do 80 plus. And I'm the ass hole in their way. It blows me away what people will do to save 5 seconds. And....take their life....AND OTHERS LIVES. To move ahead. 10 seconds, or less. Douche bags. Sorry......we are PG 18 ....right?


    Ok...sorry. Venting. Lollll. I really like that tire. Looks awesome on your jeep. Maybe my next investment.
    Still looking for a really cool knife to post. Lollll. :rofl:. Almost went easy on ya Chris4x4. Loll. Still a cool knife.

    LOL!! I was going 60, 'cause I was in the Exit Lane, and it was rush hour. I tend to keep it within 5 mph of the speed limit. However, funny thing out here, is the freeway that's 65 MPH, everyone goes about that. Then, the other freeway that turns northbound, the speed limit is 55, and everyone goes.......65. Seems to be an accepted speed out here. UNLESS, you are on one of the outer loops. They are posted 65, but folks only do 65-ish on exits. Slow lane is around 70, middle lane is 75-ish, and the 2 left lanes are 75+. Seems the far left lane is dedicated to those going over 80.

    Seriously. Those douche bags would fit in perfectly here in NJ. Ya know what....i dont get it. Why are these people in such a rush to get to work.? Suck the Bosses dick....Oops. Sorry Did I just say that? Lolll....im venting. We're still PG 13 or 18 right.??. Like there's a difference. Still douche bags behind the wheel of vehicles, that can kill. And they don't get it.

    Ok.....Sorry. some what off topic. I see accidents on a weekly basis. Several that were pretty obvious. A life or two were lost. The white blanket is an indication. Some one won't be coming home that night. And for those that see that, and it doesn't effect them, to a point. Should not be behind the wheel of a go cart as far as I'm concerned.

    Just caught myself. I'm tired. Bed time. Later ya all. Sorry for venting.

    What's an outer loop? We have :censored: in jug handles. You have to make a right. To make a left hand turn. And just to make it interesting. They throw everything lanes into the mix. Straight, left turn, right turn. And yet these stupid people take this path every day. And still don't know what lane to take. And we end up with children without a parent. That's why I need my tunes. It's climate control in my eyes. Lolll.

    The 101, 202, and 303 are the "Loops".

    The "Joke" out here, is that the "101" stands for the speed limit.

    This morning, I noticed a little bit of road noise. No more than the regular wind noise, but its there none the less. Didn't affect my low level news listening.

    First full tank with the new tires, and MPG seems to be the same. To that, I say:

    Naa. Your good with the 34s. I really like my 33s. Measurement wise. 32.60. And I'm with you. A true 34 is the way to go with our drive to work every day. Extremely happy with my 20 plus MPGs. And I'd like to keep it there. I'll probably up size in a year or so. Only like 10k on my current tire. To soon to switch out.

    Seriously???? I get 20.5 or so ,average every week. OBP keeps track for me. Loll. I thought for sure going from 225s on 16s to 305s on 17s. I lose MPGs. And I didn't. Stayed about the same with the Superchip recal. Driving 85 miles both ways to a Brothers house. All highway. I get 21. 3 . 4 or so. All about 65 mph. Yeah yeah. I drive like a old :censored: lady. But.... i apparently found my Jeeps sweet spot. And I'm really hesitate on changing that.

    I run around 17/18 depending on my driving style. But, I'm a bit heavier being a 4 door.
