I put in my 2.5" lift a couple weeks ago and finally got to getting the tires. 285/75/16 GY duratracs. I think they look pretty sharp. Look good in pics but way better in person. They are louder than my stock rugged trails, but quieter than any mud terain ive heard. I honestly dont think you could hear em on a deisel truck, our motors are pretty quiet. My camera is out of comission w/ a new one on its way when they start shipping them. Ill get some cell pics later today.
Your right...pics don't do these thing justice. When I got mine the first thing I said was Holy Sh!t! Didn't expect the tread to be that deep and aggressive looking. Enjoy..I love mine.
