Future mods are going turbo charged, paint, new exhaust system, converting rear brakes to discs, and hopefully a 6-speed tranny swap. Not exactly in that order.

The benefits are : Crisp sharp cornering, High speed stability and traction, Help reduce noise, reduces rolling resistance, Efficiently evacuate water, Added protection for curbside damage, and a smoother ride. Thats what was on the tires profile on my dads database at work he printed it out for me along with all the sizes the come in If I like them ill end up using them on my 89 rangers build.

Mastercraft is a great brand I have them on the jeep, the jimmy, the alero, the hard body, and the toyota t100 I havent found a single problem with them off road and on road they are great.
Also BF Goodrich are a horrible brand they are over priced at most places.

Diameter is less, your speedo would be off, and less tread width on a 205
