    Gotta love INCH DEEP tread on the new ones!!! I was looking at my 1100x16 XL's the other night...They gotta be a pretty soft tread compound and get drive longevity because of the big blocks.

    I've heard or received nothing in about two weeks from USA6x6 on my purchase. I have to post a lead time in my business...fair is fair right?
    Big Blocks RULE!

    If you have any questions about Daniel and his 'ethics', I think you should do a few things. Like keep on his butt to get your stuff. And also do more research on him. After more reading, it would seem that he has seriously burnt a lot of buyers and businesses.
    I sure wish you the best of luck dealing with him.

    As for the tires, yeah, the serious tread is a very nice thing. I also hear that the Goodyear tires, at least the big ones, have a VERY soft compound. Which is a great thing.

    Hammer, don't be afraid to cut those big hunkin tread blocks! I did on my measley 1100x 16's and it made a big difference. It also helps the big tread blocks to wrap around things a little better.

    Daniel....yeah, I'm gonna call and motivate him.
    Big Blocks RULE!

    Spicer, I wish you good luck with Daniel. He told me 5 weeks. Then it went to 7 weeks. Then at 9 weeks my wheels were ready to ship and guess what ?? Somebody stole them !!! At 10 weeks I finally got my wheels. He is nothing but a big BS 'er. M1028

    Barry, it was Nicole Simpson's real killer... he needed them for his covert, in-hiding type vehicle. Don't worry! OJ's on it.

    tech content: what are the main benefits of the 2pc rims vs. beadlocks?

    Yeah, the two piece act as a double beadlock. And the insert that goes in your tire is squezed against the beads when the two pieces are put together.

    That is the insert that goes inside the tire.
    No more screwy ring with a ton of bolts that warp them. You can also mount/dismount the tires while the rim stays attached to the vehicle (done this many times in the army on HMMWVs).

    Another picture of John's work. Btw, that is the design that I am thinking about using as well.
