    Picture?
    I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? Well, it’s always the same. I always tell them

    Exclamation Wild Spirit TXR2

    I chanced upon an unknown, it seems, US made brand called Wild Spirit TXR2......they are very aggressive All Terrain with a hefty 10 Ply Rating, Load Range "E".....they are priced very low, but are definetly a good quality tyre with a lot going for them. Pricewise, they are about 2/3's the cost of BFG KM2's.....

    Here's a link to a long review by a guy who was also wrapt in them as I am!..... :

    http://www.yotatech.com/f2/tire-revi...5-16-a-127975/

    I got 245/75x16 LT Load Range "E", 10 Ply Rating for my Jeep ZJ Grand Cherokee riding on the original "Golden Snowflake" alloys....I've done thousands of miles on them and can really recommend them!

    I ran two sets of those on my '91 4Runner I use to have.
    As seen in the article above, mine were the Wild Country tires relabeled for Les Schwab Tires Centers.

    They were a very good tire, and never showed any wear after many miles on them.

    That Hankook Dynapro does look nice, if I were sticking with 16" on a F-350 I'd be on them.
