Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Thoughts about these please?

Need new shoes? This is the place to discuss.

I actually just got mine in a few weeks ago (265/75/16), and mounted them this past weekend. Didn't want to go with the Bighorn's again (terrible wear on first pair) and couldn't afford KM2's or MTR's. Haven't had a chance to go out and play yet, and obviously don't have many miles on them, but will keep those of you that are waiting to take the plunge posted. :coffee:

I got the Guard Dog's (load range E). Their 32", but I'm gonna have to do a bit more cutting to the fenderwells than I had to do with my Bighorn's. :mechanic: :flex dirty:

Haven't had the pleasure to go out and try them yet, still need to get it aligned. I've done a little bit of driving around town, and they're very quiet compared to my Bighorns. Hopefully by them first weekend in May I'll be able to get away from work and go get dirty!!! :flex dirty:

Tire looks awesome. They are re-treads? Wow let me know how they wear and hold up would like to know. Also you can get a static balance done so the weight is on the inside of the tire and you can spray paint that little spot so everything is black...looks good though. Good luck with the tires,..

Yeah I was pissed off when I got the truck back and saw the weights on the outside!!!! Anyway, I got to take the truck out for a test of the tires yesterday (see gold camp road) and they performed pretty well. I didn't try anything spectacular, just areas iI was comfortable with, but was happy overall. I was able to test them in a little of everything, mud, snow, rock, and dirt. I'll try to update every once and a while to let all who are interested how they are coming along. :drive: :flex dirty:
