Found another use for the ZR2s. Haven't hardly driven them in last two weeks, but they work just as good for tire repair in your driveway. Broke the bead nicely when I got on the other side. Sometimes you can get it with one, but tire and wheel like to flip up on you.

While doing the job my boy said you got a nail in your tire. Pulled a small screw from the 1500 lug, damn near long enough to get through the lug and carcass. Have to keep an eye on it.
 
A little harder going back on by hand by yourself. These Douglas Baja HD beadlock wheels make it easier cause you only have a steep lip on inside of wheel. Been really good wheels.

These Maxxis Liberty tires are 8 ply and pretty stiff sidewalls. They are great tires on sxs for desert, rocky trails, sand, loam, but not so great in mud and clay, as they pack up and get slick.

Douglas wheels are made in USA so you can't beat that. The tires are from Taiwan and have American eagles for shoulder lugs and look awesome. PISS OFF ChiNa!

SxS tires now cost more than your truck tires. I paid $250 each for these and I seen them listed as high as $300.
