Got them installed today. 305x55r20 on stock 20x9” rims. They look good! I have a 1” wheel spacer, already had the ready lift leveling kit with UCA, and had to do the bracket delete and some trimming to the mud flap/liner. The bracket delete got a little complicated but I worked through it. Mostly, the liner likes. To distort when it’s pulled in. So I removed and relocated one holding bolt and put a new hole for it in the liner. Then drilled the anticipated hole in the well liner for the standard tie back method to the old bracket hole on the top. I used the lower hole to anchor the interior on the mud flap then cut off most of the extra interior material of the mud flaps on front. Then I had to cut about 1/2-3/4” on the exterior profile on the mud flap and hammer in the mudflap bracket about 1/2”. I wouldn’t call it professional by any means but it works good and everything is secure and protected. I have full lock side to side no rubbing even going over bumps/curbs in forward and reverse, 4wd or 2nd. Seems like some of the time I would rub prior in 2wd where it wouldn’t rub in 4wd. And forward braking around a corner would rub but not just going around a corner. Not bad for 1200 bucks in tires tho.
Now the review of the Venom Power tires. They’re good. A bit heavy and they make a bit of road noise. They’re aggressive enough where it’s expected. I have the E rated tire, so 10 ply. The ride quality is better than expected. Balancing doesn’t seem to be terrible. I may take them back and have them road force balanced at 70 Mph. Seems like a small amount of vibration at high speed. They corner very well and the stance is very stable. Braking is good. Haven’t tried emergency braking. I wanna do a midnight run in the local parking lot and measure a 60-0 stop at full brake force. I’ll update when I do that. Will probably burn 500 miles before so the tires are broken in and I get an accurate measurement of long term performance. Other than that I like the look and feel. I would recommend. I like going wide on a thinner rim with these as they are boxy and the sidewall looks heavy and very protective of the rim.
Edit: I also took off the side steps. Didn’t like them. Ordered a new set and will install those. Higher ground clearance than the previous set hopefully. These old ones were good for the pregnant wifey to get in and out but they are a bit low for my taste.
