They aren't much if any heavier than the 37" Toyo pickup tires that people put on......They have 50K on them with 1/2+ tread left.
I don't off road my $70K, 104" wide, 10Klb pickup.....gravel roads and sand is the only time it gets dirty. I have a Jeep and ATV's for that.

The stability is where they really shine!
Then why the winch? I just can't see turning my perfectly good 4X4 into a boulevard cruiser. You might as well just buy a 2WD if you are going to do that. I don't know, to each his own I guess. I just shake my head everytime I see a 4x4 truck running down the road with these. $70K for a Dodge?? LOL...

Eventually Ford made cars in colors other than black. I would guess that 75% of all 4x4's other than maybe snow never see off road. I have a set of stock (215's) wheels and tires for my dually on a pallet in the shop. They looked whimpy .....

Jeez...all he did was post to show off his new rv not have his tow vehicle ripped apart by you. I can't imagine you would walk up to somebody in person and be that insulting...why here?

You must live in the city where the government supplies all services needed for the general sheep herd.......
Not that I feel like I have to explain myself or justify my equipment to you, but things are a little different up here in the "Great State of Jefferson". We are self reliant and prepared for all situations. We camp opposite seasons of sheep, requiring 4WD for winter road conditions, recovery equipment, and other items for possible emergencies.
Usually I end up using my stuff for helping out some unprepared flat lander who has no business leaving the couch in his apartment...
I don't camp where others camp. I'm on my own and prefer it that way. My favorite campsites are no less than 12 miles off the pavement and have had to winch trees and vehicles out of my way just to get there...... $70K invested into this machine makes it do what I want to do....luckily I'm in the biz or it would have been $100K!
If you live in the city, camp in cities, play in cities, and will die in the city.....you just are not going to understand my philosophy...
Sometimes I wonder why I bother with this forum as so many are know it all, judgmental individuals.

Crazy I think you have a sick setup right there. The internet is full of people that have to bad mouth other peoples stuff don't sweat it. If it works for you that is all the matters. Also another good reason to upgrade to the bigger tire and wheel is load carrying capacity just my .02 carry on.
