Ok Guys, here's shots of the tire at 5 psi in the parking lot at my welding shop. They sit pretty good and I drove them up onto a curb to give you an idea of how they wrapped around it.
  What do you think Quaddawg?

That's five huh?

My opinion is that they will probably soften a bit, and you might have to run a bit more,  and your sidewall IS a BIT more prone to damage, but if they look just like that on the trail, it is close to PERFECT for ultimate traction. I think you will be amazed at the traction that will give you.

WATCH THEM  CLOSELY for signs of spinning on the wheel, maybe make a mark on them and the rim, and and watch of rolling them off the rim, and getting bark and dirt between the bead and the tire..

if all is well, and stays well GO FOR IT.. if it seems a bit iffy, give it another 2 lbs...

Yep, you are gonna LOVE the traction there!!

That really is 5psi, from the side shots it's hard to see the bulge so that's why I took the front shots close to the ground. I had to borrow the neighbouring shops digital tire gauge as mine only read down to 10 psi acurately.
Thanks, I'll mark them and keep an eye on it to make sure they don't spin then. I can't wait for the next rainy day now!!!

how do they do aired down to say 10 pounds?  they look pretty good, i think i might be sold on those


Same thing i was thinkin, looking for something beefyer than the bf mud, and still street able. So if any1 knows how they compare to the bf's, lets say in real juicy mud... pleas let me know :)

i had the 265/75R16's on my 98 f150, and i couldn't keep up with my friend's 98 f150 with bfg muds in anything soft or wet (mud, snow, sand, etc). other than that, they're decent tires.

Thanks, those are just the conditions i need them for, so no-go for me :)

Actually mine have been great in that stuff.  You'll have to see for yourself.  Some people's ideas of mud differ in due to their locations.
