5000 miles on the tires, I've been able to drive them in the rain for a couple of months now and they've been outstanding so far. Have not been able to get them to hydroplane even though I've been trying to see where they're limit is.
Should be able to get them onto some knarly trails soon.
So far so good with the new tires. I’ve got over 2000 miles on them now, drove out to Utah/Colorado for my elk hunt. Rain, snow and ice have been good to go so far.
No didn't have time, leaving this week and still need to load ammo. I'm going to have them make a note on the account to when we rotate the rears to the front in 5k if the problem persists to change those out too.
I've never heard of balance beads and just looked them up, so they just settle...
As I posted on the other Thread I wanted to update info in a new one over time.

Alright so as I figured when switching from the 295/70r17s the Coopers run...
Yep, advertised "spec" sheet sizing doesn't always equal true installed size. I've even seen inconsistencies comparing same exact tire brand/model/size from one build date to the next.
For informational purposes...
I've been running the Cooper Strongholds in 295/70r17 for the past couple of weeks and even when I swapped them out I felt like they were slightly undersized in overall diameter compared to my stock tires. It sucks that there is no consistency when it comes to size...
Dang they are definitely trying to get ahead of transmission issues, I like it. In the past other manufacturers listed the trans fluid as "lifetime" but we all know that was bs. The fluid might be lifetime but all the components wearing inside contaminating the fluid isn't.
This is great info...
