The only rubbing I've had with the STTs is going in reverse and turning the wheel full lock and that definitely rubs but i just go almost to full lock when backing up and no problem. I keep checking after being off camber and stuffing the rear wheels (like the first pic i posted) and I haven't seen much more than very minimal rubbing in the rear wheel well which is not what i expected with the 32s but i'm not complaining haha.

As far as going for an MT I do love the STTs but I did not know about the Kelly TSRs when i got my STTs and for the money, they seem to be the one to get for our rig. I mean the STTs absolutey kick ass in the mud, I was at the same place the other day during a torential down pour and everything there turned to very thick but slippery mud and I turned off DSC and was only in the general TR setting and made massive rooster tracks trying to circle up and around that giant hill, but they cleared out the tread very well (when given some gas :biggrin:)

All that being said the TSRs are considerably cheaper... and are Load Range E as opposed to the STTs which are C... which i haven't found to be an issue yet but why worry when you can have a cheaper tire that is rated "properly" for our rig.

Maybe Duckdive will chime in about the TSRs if he's wheeled with them yet. :wink:

Only had the TSR's out once in the month I have had them. Trail was moderate so I have
not had the chance to give them a good workout. I will post negatives and positives to that nine mile long tire thread we have somewhere.

Hey Ralph, where is the first picture from? How'd your LR3 handle Wheeler Lake?

Here's a couple of post-worthy pics

Small photo is from China Wall trail off Terryall outside Woodland Park. It's a beautiful area and close to the Springs. Wheeler trail was the toughest trail I have done so far. The LR3 did awesome. The first 3 rock face obstacles were tough but no problems, Towards the top it was real rocky and loose. Lot's of water crossing and the trail is very tight and narrow.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8qRTFBYApI
