Yea, I know how much you hate it when I'm right. Look at the bright side. It doesn't happen all that often!

Yea, yea, yea. My son tells me that my phone even has a camera in it. As soon as I figure out how to load the film, I'll run right out and take some pics. Of course since they'll be at night, I'll need some flash bulbs ...

I got the tires mounted and balance on to the new wheels.  However they are still not on the truck because I have to do the brakes and possibly possibly modify part of the wheel well liner if there is rubbing.  Weekend job.

Anyway, 295/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II. Basically a more aggressive version of their AT.  Deeper, wider tread and a more pronounced sidewall.

Thanks.  I really want to get them on the truck.  I'm waiting for my brake pads to get here.  I just ordered them yesterday with free two day shipping from amazon prime so hopefully by Monday.  I also have to work on my girlfriends Jeep this weekend.  We are replacing her track bar, sway bar bushings, headlights and trying to determine which sensor is tripping the ABS light.  I need to get the work done to my truck though before the 13th because that's the day we leave for a short trip to Tennessee with the quads to visit her family.  Brakes, oil change and wheels and tires for my truck.  I also need to service both quads.  Anyone have some free time they're not using?  Did I mention we have storms coming again?

I took the wheels to my work today because thats where I'll be doing the work and I'm working on the girlfriends jeep today too.  I realized when I got there the owner had the regular Toyo Open country tires on his truck and he replaced two of them, not realizing it, before he needed to.  He's not always the smartest.  Anyway, he stored the two best ones here so I compared them to mine.  The regular OC ATs vs the OC AT II extremes.  You can see the aggressive sidewall and deeper wider tread blocks.  Keep in mind there are also OC AT IIs in the non extreme versions as well.

So I put everything on this weekend.  I was hoping to get a couple decent pictures but I can't even pull out of the driveway without trashing the truck.  So here are a couple.  They don't really look anywhere near as good as they do in person.

So while washing the truck a few days ago I noticed one of the wheels had very significant peeling.  I contacted the manufacturer and provided pictures.  They seemed surprised but provided me with a listing for stores in the area where I could take them to have someone look at them and initiate the warranty claim.  I also have an email in to the local powder coating company I use to get a quote on stripping and having them powder coated incase this warranty claim doesn't go as planned.  They are talking about me possibly having to pay freight for the new wheels which is pricey and I think ridiculous. 





The other three wheels don't have any peeling but do look like they are starting to peel around the bolts that run around the lip.  One wheel has a decent chip out of it.
