Couldn't find any M/T to try but the 28X10's spec out almost identical to the GY.

The guys at Harlow's in Michigan said the Hoosiers have slightly more sidewall bulge and their compound is too soft for a 3600 pound car. But Hoosier is supposed to be switching to a harder compound.

I bought the Goodyears and don't think I'll need to notch the frame rails but will have to roll the fender lip. If anyone would like to see some pics just let me know.
i would diffently like to see some
