New Shoes

Finally got some more rubber to fill those huge wheel wells. I went with 285 (32" +/-) Dueller A/Ts. I loved my last set so much I got another set. I got a cool little casio handheld tv with them too. I figure I'll wait to get the MTRs for when I get rockcrawlers. I would rather have the better slower tread wear (My last set was virtually gone after 30k miles) and also the snow/wet traction as I will be going skiing a bit this winter. I also have a pic of the new house. I'm renting for while I'm down at school. Scad dorms are REDICULOUS (ly expensive). Anyway, just thought I would share. It doesn't seem THAT much slower than before. Idono... I guess I'm not that picky... I drive a truck, it should be big and slow. Ive done the fast thing and it just gets me in trouble. Have a good day everyone!

Turboale,

Your truck looks great... I'm in the process of deciding on tires myself. It's either going to be BFGs or the Duellers. Just curious, was it price alone that made you go with yours? I noticed that you didn't go with the Revos (or did you?). Was that because of aesthetics or price again?

As a side note, I think the 285s make a big difference in the look of your truck. Much more aggressive IMHO. This is something else I've been wrestling with.

Looking good. Your rig looks alot better on the pavement then it did stuck in that mud hole a few months back. Good choice to live in a house rather then a dorm or apartment.
