General Grabbers!

So i got the Generals, they are awsome. i kept getting the run around on
km2s and got sick of it... so i did research and figured these were gonna be dialed. short story they are. they are so smooth and so quite. all the guys at the tire place were stoked on them and dig them. needless to say booya! i plan on updating this thread on milage and conditions and various other things that come up.... any way on to the pics

i deffinetly plan on it, but im not too concerned with wet weather performance, its still a pick up and not a car so if it not perfect i wont be disapointed.

put about 40 miles on them lastnight and i can tell you that i have no complaints yet. seem to be getting better mpgs, but still too early to tell

there non direcional and the other side is all black like others. im running the red letters out because its gonna be alot easier for people to figure out wha they are instead of being asked a billion questions. honestly the red isnt over powering and grab too much attn.
