Install pretty straight forward? Any airbag lights come on after you did the swap?

Yes, straightforward. Nope no airbag lights. Just take your time and remember to disconnect battery before removing airbag.

Just got them. They ended up on a different truck for whatever reason.

That's a lot of tire!

Sure is! Up close they're enormous. The thickness difference over my 255s is basically like adding a whole extra tire. They mean business.

I've heard so much about this tire that I just need to get them on lol. I'm expecting orders of magnitude of improvement.

Hahahaha. I'm guessing my little test run didn't go over so hot. As said, I normally don't drive in such a manner. I just thought I'd give you a little taste of what it's capable of.

The re71’s are so underrated

RE71R and MRR M600 19x11 get mounted tomorrow. We'll see what the weather looks like.

Are you running them on a square setup? If so, do you rotate front to back since they're directional?

Yes, square setup but not rotatable. I'm running +24 front offset and +50 rear offset. So I'll just have to flip the tires side to side.
I didn't want to do the extended studs up front which is why I went with the +24 offset.

-Brembo 6 piston calipers/PP front rotors plus new rotors for the rears with PP brake pads


*I'll be selling my Steeda 2 piece rotors.

Why this switch I think the Steeda 2 piece rotors are lighter than the Brembo's by some margin. Also the PP brake pads are not grate for the track go with something else.
