well, I finally saved up enough to replace the crappy OLD Remington xt120's that were on the back of the money pit.

I found these tires at Les Schwab, they are Toyo Proxes S/T 295/50/15's, i can't belieive the difference new tires make. The guy that installed the tires looked at the old Remingtons and said they were 17 years old!

They were on the truck when i bought it and I had no idea they were that old,if i did i would have had them taken off the day I bought the truck.The tread was starting to seperate.

anyway here's a few pics of the new tires, I like the tread design on them

How much space is there between your tire and the bed. I want to put 285/70/15s on the back of mine, will they fit you think?

What are they worth ?

Love the tire tread.

71MoneyPit · 07-12-2003, 12:42 AM

They are a light truck tire,they have a treadwear rating of 420? I think they will probably last around 20-25,000 miles depending on how many burnouts i do with them

the Tires cost me $120 a piece.

oh and the wheels are 15x10's

71MoneyPit · 07-12-2003, 12:44 AM

i have about 2 in. or so between the tire and the fender, but they are inside the fender just enough so that they won't hit.
