Re: Looking for tires
Its what someone suggested to me for the new rims,,, Do you have a better choice,,, what I wanted was a 255-50 R18 ,,, that tire seems really hard to find ,,, the 245-50 is narrow

Re: Looking for tires
You have 18" wheels for it? Is it lowered?

Re: Looking for tires
Looks like I am late to the show, but for anyone else out there I will throw out my opinion. I highly recommend Cooper tires. Prices are not as high as Goodyear and especially Michelin, their tires get reviews as good and often better than those two, and they are 100% American made.

Re: Looking for tires
Cooper,Kelly-Springfield and Hoosier are the only tires totally made in the U.S.A.

Re: Looking for tires
Tires came in today,,, look bigger than what I thought they would be,,, I was thinking 8 inches wide,,, I didn't take a tape to them,,, but look to be around 10 inches wide, am sure they will fill in that big wheel well and look awesome on the truck,, can't wait to see that
![]() ![]() I had narrowed my list of tires,, to four tires,,, what made me end up with the tires I did,,, the Michelin's ,, This tire had,,, the best reviews from everyone that had posted reviews,,, of all my choices,,, my Goodyear choice,, didn't even make my top four list,,, after I read the reviews on that tire ![]() The rims,,, this may get a bit long ![]() I paid for them with my Pay Pal account ,, after I picked the rims I wanted,,, and before I paid for them,,, I changed my Pay Pal shipping address to my mechanic's address,,, I wanted the rims shipped to him,, as I don't have a truck to bring them to him,,, if they were shipped to my house,, plus I will be at work when they come in. I entered the mechanic's address when I filled out the order form from JEGS when buying the rims. Shouldn't have been a problem,, until some one from JEGS entered my home address as my shipping address ![]() So I see this on my invoice when JEGS sent it to me,, I call them,, whom ever I talked with at JEGS ,, said,,, nothing could be done ![]() ![]() ![]() Truck went and had its exhaust system installed today,, sounds awesome ![]() ![]() ![]() |
