New Shoes for my Truck...

[HillHound]

Went ahead and bought new BGF 285 ATKOs for the F250.  The 265s and 285s were nearly the same price.  Here's a before shot:

And after:

Close-up comparison with the old General 235/85 AS:

 

I have a buyer who's going to take the old set of tires (only put 550mi on them) off of my hands for a decent price-more than I expected, so that will help soften the cost of the new ones.

 

And a shot of the truck with the tractor:

The truck looks great HillHound. :thumb: Those new shoes make it look even meaner and fill the wheelwells much better.

Much better!!!  Looks good for a Ford  

 

Honestly those tires make the truck look great

I know Ryan, thanks.  You have to learn to love Fords...kind of like an ugly dog!

 

Thanks guys for helping me decide which tires to get.  Now it sits 1/2" higher but that's fine because it never fit in any of my garages with the stock tires!

You sure you got enough truck for that trailer?

You sure you got enough truck for that trailer?  

Barely!  When I put that trailer on the hitch ball, the rear end sagged almost 1/4"!!  

 

You know you have too much truck for your trailer when the total weight of it loaded is under the weight capacity of your truck's bed!  

 

Would you feel better if I put the truck on a trailer and towed it with that little tractor??
