No- I kept the original aluminum wheels pending my trip to the CAT scales, which proved to be an okay choice since my total axle weight was within specs.

And while I have only had one short trip less than 200 miles on the Maxxis- they seem to tow better.

I sold my 4 take off tires with 800 miles on them for $100 for the set- the guy that bought them thought he was getting a deal-- not in my opinion??
