What did you do with your truck/shop today

[LongrangeLauber]

Thinking about getting these as a winter set of wheels and tires (if they fit lol) think they'll look halfway decent?? Thoughts??

 

[Daly]

They look like they'll suck in the snow or ice IMHO. I've never found a mud tire that was good in the snow or ice, they act more like slicks in the rain than anything.

The wheels are MINT! Aren't many out there today I like, but I like those.

 

You probably don't have to worry too much about ice and snow, but I agree with Daly on that, especially if they have some years and the rubber has hardened a bit. Skinny is good for snow, and heavy rain. Would be great 3 season tires though.

 

 

 

Speaking of that, I just finally mounted my Blizzak DM-V2's I got last month on the OEM 18's. Was waiting for this to come in before I did: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015WWHZQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Should stop the constant bead leaks from aluminum corrosion.

The tires are shit I'd get new ones put on, just cheapos more than likely. I figured if I can get the wheels for cheap and use them as winter wheels, I wouldn't care if they got tore up plus they look pretty nice

[Jsdirt]

Yeah, that'd be a nice set of winter wheels. I always hate throwing mine on - the 18's aren't nearly as nice as my 20's are.

Finally got around Monday to making room for the boat once we get its trailer road worthy, hopefully this weekend that'll be done. The Holiday Rambler (white trailer) wouldn't move, the brakes locked up for some reason so all I did was dig holes with the dually. Managed to get the Airstream moved over, literally with inches to spare, even though the passenger side tires aren't seated. It got dragged around just fine. Neither jack would work on their own so we hot wired them I guess would be the right term, always good to have a spare battery and jumper cables around. Had to drop the head to the lowest setting, ripped the rear bumper off on the Airstream.

You should hire a kid to brush scrub those down, it would be money well spent I think. Would increase the look and value.

This kind of response is almost worth more than the money he gave me.

They are, sadly mine isn't anymore.

I do need to hit it with a pressure washer. At this point I'd be glad if someone wanted them vs increasing value. They've been sitting probably a decade now.
