These are going to make 33 10.5's look like the heavy truck tyres they are. I'm waiting for some 35 10.5's to start popping up when the prolite off-road race guys start selling them second hand.

No.
But when the 32 9.5 r15s that are listed on the BFG site for release in fall this year hit the market I reckon I wouldn't be the only one game to run em.....













Then reality kicks in, and the $400+ per corner price tag says I'll just keep on dreaming. ;)

No comparison. These will be so much lighter and more flexible than a tyre designed for a dually it's not funny. No, they're not DOT or ADR. But 32's aren't legal on a sierra anyway.

Stuff that comes out of the BFG Motorsport factory are nothing like road tyres.

I don't share your opinion of BFG consumer tyres, but regardless, the race tyres come from a different facility that only makes race tyres.

They won't come as a sticky, but I imagine the compound is fairly soft.
