Keep us posted how do they work.I also bought these new ET`s (295x65x15) from Summit and they do feel very soft if you try them with your fingernail!?Wear out could be a problem but hey, you can always buy another set :D

It's good to know there finally shipping the 325's. I'm gonna be in the market for a new set sometime next season...not sure whether to go with the M/T's or stick with the BFG's which have worked so well for me.

I have concerns over the M/T's wearing much quicker than the BFG's. Current BFG's have 40 passes and are almost worn out...doubt they'll make it to 60 passes.

they both have a treadwear of 0 so i bet they would wear about the same. i think the mts have more contact with the graound due to tread design\

well my new project, isnt a chevelle :( but its still a chevy. my new project it a 1969 chevy c10 step side that is allready minitubed and has ladder bar rear suspension/ ill get some picks in the next few days.

Them suckers ARE perty!!!!

I would love ta be able to buy a pair of 295/45-17's even if I had to jack my tail-end up again, just like for my great big old L-60's at a measured modern 298/53-14!!!!!
