Yeah, I think I'll get maybe 25,000 mi. out of them. Thats fine for a play truck. You say a 468 cu/in?, what is that, a punch out big block?.....wow, it must be a lot of fun.

You might want to look at a 255/50-17 tire for your truck.
A 60 series tire (in 17's) is huge, for a lowered truck.


Keith, I also like the stance with the slightly bigger tire on the rear. If you had not said something, there would have been 60 series tires mounted right now. Thanks again.

Thanks to all of you that posted for the encouraging comments.
