Default 295/45/17 MT Radials. INSTALLED W/ PICS!

So being that no one else has posted pics of these tires installed and all that, plus being that im excited i finally have a decent tire, here are pics upon pics. Enjoy bitches.

By themselves



Next to my worn out 275/40/17 Nittos




Mounted width


On the car







i know, stupid amount of pictures, but everyone bitches cuz theyve never seen them and now they have!


The car isnt running right now so i dont know how they hook or ride but that will come soon enough, they are Mickeys so im sure they hook fairly good




:edit: before i got the 4x4 comment the car is stock 65,000 mile suspension and hadnt been moved since being jacked up to put the tires on

the mods on here probably wont agree, but, i think this is the absolute limit for a 9" wheel, it should probably be on a 10" wheel

thanks guys, to everyone who asked they are a 17x9.5" rim. I think these could be easily/safely run on a 9" rim, there is hardly any sidewall tuck on these as it is.

i have yet to drive on them IMgettingLS1, my PCM took a **** and i sitll havent figured out why

You think that is bad. The tires I just sold were the MT ET Street 11.50x17" Bias. Compared to the 275x35x17 I have on the ft, with thoes on the rear, I looked like a FWD ricer ready for a run. At least the 295 I have now is now about the same size. The height throws off the perspecive a little.

I got mine from Desert Rat.

P.S. Sorry if I am not allowed to say that.

they definitly arent all the skinny. I think the pics just throw them off. They are 11" mounted like you can see in one of my pics, they look alot meaner than the nittos and like ^^ said, the height pry throws the perception off a bit.

the M&H tires run so god damn narrow its stupid

I'll be throwing those 295's on 17x11's and will take pics when they come in.
26's are too short, 28's killed my gear so hopefully the 27's will do the trick

I'm willing to take that risk

"GMMillwright" has been running M&H 325/45's on 17x11's and they run .3" narrower than the MT's (tread width).
