    Thanks for the compliments! These tires have been absolutely great as long as you keep your front end in good shape. Those two have had a bit of cupping and it got pretty bad on the inside when I had a wheel bearing go out and didn't catch it right away. Other than that they're wearing like steel and not nearly as noisy as you might think. I get some crap from my buddies because it's generally only pulling a horse trailer (wife's passion) but I make believers out of them when I don't get stuck on wet grass anymore! They actually got to do a little digging with this load on last weekend, going up hill crossing a washout in the woods with all the leaves and everything on the ground. I wouldn't have been able to tell if I hadn't looked in the rear view and saw the mud and tree guts being slung downhill. Good times.

    It's a full 8' bed so I was hoping for a full cord since it's stacked in there pretty solid. Between the bed rails measures 5' and then wheel-wells take up a little space but that's nearly 40" of sides including the bed itself so...?

    That's just about a cord. My bed is the same dimensions, and I always figured the wheel wells to be a couple cubic feet total. Stacked a little over 3 feet puts you right at a cord :thumbs:

    When you get to my age, they are all heavy. I lifted a split of popple the other day and even though it was in the stack 4 years it about wore me out!
