Default very impressed with my new tires and wheels

STI Black Diamond XTR tires - YouTube

STi Black Diamond XTRs and STi HD1 wheels.

All I can saw is that they are awesome.

Right now I have closer to 1200 miles on them, put them on back in the middle of May.

Here's the first video I did. My comments were directed at one of my friends.

Wow!! Looks good Specta! Watched a few of your vids.....Almost forgot how bad I want to take a vacation there! Love those wheels and tires, Gives the Rubi a rugged look. Good to see a few new pics. Take care and don't forget about us droolers out here awaiting new pics on the Paiute thread.

Got me to look
Real happy with my Dirt Tamers so far.
I noticed on your second video you said 700 miles so far and when you did the close up of the tire there was almost no wear.
Do you run the road much. I scrubbed my Kenda's pretty good this year at Hatfield & Mc Coy... Also my buddy did a number on his Zillas. (maybe 15 miles total on hot pavement over 3 days)

I ride on more pavement than I care to and my Rubicon is in 4-wd all the time.

So far I they look like I should get some decent mileage out of them.

These are my 7th set of tire and possibly my favorites. I'll have to wait and see how they do in the snow.

Good to know.
Here in Western Pa we have a bunch of open land so I rarely see the road.
For the most part I only see roads when I travel that is why I wasnt concerned with a bias ply tire.

I would however love to ride some of that terrain from your videos. All I have to do in convince the wife it is a good idea for me to drive 1600 miles to do it.

We had folks here this past week from FL, TN and IL just to ride the trails.

Had 4 guys here that have been coming up from CA for the last 4 years. They put just over 600 miles on their machines in 5 days. One day they travelled 160 miles.

If you do come out you'll be back.
