Well, not exactly 'brand new' but new for me. I purchased these for $1,000 and was expecting to be spending around $2,500. Originally these were on a H2 owned by a cousin of Moe's...but they didnt like them and decided on something else. So these have sat in the garage for a couple of years until they offered them to me as I had mentioned my tires were bald and I was going to start looking at new tires.
I also wanted new rims (my old ones are 16'' rims) and I wanted 17'' rims as the choices for tires are more with this rim size as it has become a more common size in trucks.
So these tires have been driven less than 100miles and the rims look just as new. I am loving them...the are almost 35'' in diameter where the stock tires are 30.5''. So it does raise my truck up a bit more.
The front tires do rub, but not the way bigger tires normally do as I can turn them from far left to far right. They don't rub often... and they don't rub when turned all the way..but the rub in the middle on the inner fender plastic shield thing. I have ordered a leveling kit (brings the front up only) for $80 and this will lift it enough to prevent rubbing.
