Got some "NEW TO ME" wheels & tires.
The wheels had been sitting around for about 8 yrs and were going to be thrown out when one of the techs rememberd I had a vehicle that they'd fit.
One of the tires was 1/64" below the minimum tread allowance for our used car standards so they replaced all 4 tires on the truck (07 1500 HD Crewcab)

the tires are 245/75R16 Bridgestones A bit smaller in overall diameter thatn the original 235/80R16's so my speedo is reading about 2 1/2 m.p.h. faster than I'm actually going @ 65mph. They'll due for now while I buy the wheels and tires I really want one at a time over the winter.
