My new tires

[Shaners]

I had my new rubber put on today.  They are the Michelin LTX M/S tires and they are load range "E".  They are LT 265/75/16 and have about 400 more lbs of carrying capacity over the stock Firestones.

 

I don't need a very aggressive tread design because I'll never take my truck on some "serious" 4-wheeling.  These tires are plenty aggressive enough to get me around in the winter, and to back my travel trailer through slippery grass, and the occaisional field path down to a little known bass pond.

 

I know the picture is crappy, but I thought I'd show you how much better they fill up the wheel wells over the 245/75/16 Firestones.  BTW I got a tremendous deal on these tires.  They were new spare tires off of 3/4 ton Dodge trucks.  My local Michelin dealer wanted $195 each mounted and balanced.  The guy I bought them off of took my 5K mile Firestones on trade, and I did all the wrenching on the truck while he mounted and balanced them.  The bottom line was $300 and drive away!!!

They look good Shane.  And a #### of a deal too.

Thanks Tom.  I'll get a better pic of the whole truck tomorrow when the sun is up.  They sure did improve the stance, and now the tip of the antenna hits the garage door when I back in...

THose look nice

 

I just seen a set on a Ford Powerstroke today.  Only reason i noticed them was because i looked over to see why his truck was making so much racket

Those new tires looks good, I'll have to consider them for my truck too.

Good looking tire!   It is hard to go wrong buying Michelin.

 

Great deal too.  I would have been all over it.

[Shaners]

Here's a better pic.  you can see they look much better and improve the stance alot more over the stock tires.

Maybe it's my old eyes, but I still can't see them all that clear.  ???

The pics are a little but hard to make out completely but from what I can see they look great with the truck

I don't disagree...  but I am still running the "old fashioned" dial-up modem, so it takes awhile to upload a pic.  So I'm just putting up low res pics so that people like me can view them quickly.

 

I'll take better ones if you'd like...

I've got about 8000 miles on my Firestones and starting to get some road noise.  I put 245 Michelins on my 93 Suburban and loved 'em.
