Hey guys I just had my vreds installed and they are awesome, the ride is so much smoother then stock and you can feel them sticking to the ground. I love these tires and have already got about 10 comments on how bada$$ they are. They really fill the wheel wells thats for sure! Ill post some pics up later.

OH AND FOR YOU GUYS WITH CHROME CAPS ON YOUR VALVE STEMS REMOVE THEM NOW!!!! MINE WERE STUCK ON 2 TIRES AND WAS LUCKY THEY WERE ABLE TO BLOW TORCH ONE OFF THE OTHER I HAD TO GET A NEW SENSOR IT SNAPPED WHEN TURNED

Nice, you got the 275/315 combo I take it?

And yep, metal caps are no good on the sensors. A few people here have broken the valve stems trying to remove them.

Glad to hear the positives about the Vreds !

As the caps go, mine were stuck as well, and carefully used pliers to loosen it, and they came off mine.. Had me worried!
Now just putting them on for shows.

I think wider tires would help my time by a tenth or 2....

This is something I will consider for next race season

What would you like to know?
I currently run nitto 420s tires.... Stock sizes

if I get wider tires I can cut down on wheel spin at the track, helping me run a better time

I seen the Nittos on Medics ride last night (not sure what kind) and they look pretty da*n SICK! I have Vreds right now but them there Nittos might be my next tires! Don't get me wrong, love the Vreds. No complaints. Just wanna try some new rubber when it comes time again.

Just installed the Vredestein tires, 275/315. So much better than the GY's.

Paid $792 out the door.

I got them from:

N. Lindenhurst, New York 11757-1011
Phone: 631-225-1016
Email: Autotrend@msn.com

But.....that was a cash deal, with me picking them up. And I think there may have been an increase on them? Call see what they say.

Well you have several options:

Call Jeep roadside or Allstate roadside and get a tow.

Carry a small pump that plugs into the cig lighter and a can or fix a flat.

Also a tire plug kit would help it you get a nail in the tread.

Or.....................walk.

Whatever u Guys Do Whenever u Have a Flat on your BEASTS Do not Use Fix a FLAT. The Chemicals in it can damage the tire sensors. it has happened to me.
