Well it was about time I put some tires on the darkness, so I found a deal I just couldn't pass up.

Me and Andy went in together and got a set of the 24 bolt H1s and the MT/Rs. He got the tires and I got the wheels and his old tires. So here are some pics.

Here we are pulling out the one piece rubber run-flats....

Those 24 bolt wheels look awesome. Nice job on the runflat extraction too, haha.

Did you happen to weigh one of the tire wheel combos? They look sweet:beer:

I rolled one up on the scale and they weighed in at about 140ish compared to my 38.5x11 bogger on 15x8 steel w/ DIY beadlocks at 105-115.

Thanks for the complements.

Were going to try and get Andys mounted tonight and I'll try to get up some pics of his.
 
It should drive pretty good on the street but those tires bring the suck off road.
 
We got Andy's mounted tonight. We knocked out the studs and put 5/8 bolts in them so he don't have to worry about them with no rock ring, we also moved the valve stem to the back side of the front half so it wont get ripped out. Here is some pics....
