Would you toss these 395 ' s and get new ones?

You have a really nice clean truck there. No rust, just the way I like them !

I spent last Saturday mounting the tires to the rims, and attaching the adapter plates. It was uneventful and easier than I thought it was going to be, but still caused very sore legs on Sunday as I was by myself. There was a learning curve in finding the right tools and the perfect platform to work off of (a 30 gal oil drum.) I was also glad I bought new o-rings, because the 'new o-rings' the seller said they came with were pretty deformed. As a side note, most of the tires were made in 2011 and one says 2009.

Today, I got them mounted on the truck. Again, easier than I thought it would be, and very thankful for that. I found a flat shovel to be a big help to pry the tires up on the lugs. I haven't made any measurements, but I'm guessing the tires mounted on the mrap rims have a total wider stance of 6-8", maybe more, than the stock rims did. I think she looks a little more tough now.

Definitely a few bolts on these things. If you stare at it long enough, it'll make you dizzy.

The MVTs are much less likely to get cracked like that. If you're going to do a lot of high speed driving, I would replace what you got. Farm/trail/local use they are fine.

High speed? In a deuce ? lol
