they are 30.5in tall but my 31.5in 285/50/20 are so worn that they are close to the same hieght. they appear to be nice and wide. im all giddy like a school girl and cant wait. ima lose like 100lbs off my rotating mass cant wait so tired of heavy ass steelies

btw what you got planned for saturday?

12-16-2009, 06:37 AM
nothing man, are you doing better now??
Word to the wise, and speaking from experience, when they go, they go hard. They become drag slicks really fast. I think they last a long time but when they start to spin, and everything goes downhill fast. Then your varram turns into a k&n and your exhaust becomes troodooals with frowmastas. And your girlfriend gains 40 pounds and your cd in your truck becomes "royal purple presents- George straight sings quarter mile hits"

Best tires I have ever owned are Vredestiens I have them on the Jeep now got all 4 in staggered fit for 750.00 shippied, 275/40/20 fronts, 315/35/20 rears. I do like the Nitto NT05 for those of you with alot of HP and need a good street tire to hook those are your tires but my Vreds have been great.

So those who have these tires, still in love with them? They are kinda pricey...but come in a size I think I like (the 285/60/17s). I'm on the fence.
It'll be on a 5/7 drop.

I still like them, have used them for about 4 years.
what do you consider pricey? I got Toyo Proxes St II 275/55R17 109V tires for $135.00 each. about $160.00 each mounted, balanced + tax, out the door.
109 is still enough load rating to use your truck like a truck. 2,271 lbs. max load per tire. I carry tile, lumber, gravel, etc. once in a while, and can carry up to max GVW with no worries.
tires weigh 35.2 each.
V speed rates you to 149 mph so you can haul ass.
420 treadwear, Temp A Traction A. pretty good tire for the price, IMO.

from where? I get mine from Discount Tire or Firestone dealer. Firestone is closer to me than Discount, and they give me the same price + do alignments, so I go to Firestone last 2 times.
Discount in my area doesn't do alignments. WTF? sell tires, but not do alignments. dumb.
adamsredlines
07-16-2011, 08:36 PM
Firestone.
adamsredlines
07-16-2011, 08:38 PM
I thought it was high but by time you order online and pay shipping...not much of a difference.
white lightning
07-16-2011, 11:29 PM
not a bad price. you could check with Discount and see if they are cheaper.
Firestone would normally have cost more than Discount, but I know the owner of the local Firestone.

Local discount doesnt offer Toyo

I paid 117 each for st2 275/60s. Some of the best tires ive had on this truck.
I run those but they are 275/55/17 which i have on the front. Have 2 more that i don't use which one is brand new due to free replacement under warranty with Discount Tire. Been trying to trade them for some 28-29 height 18" tires. Very good tire in all the elements. I do miss their V tread design that was on the previous ST
