nice truck. what tires are those? I have the same wheels that came with the goodyear eagles and I have to say, the goodyears are absolutely good for nothing except dry pavement. the tread life is terrible, Ive already gone through 2 1/2 sets of tires at only 60,000 miles. needless to say, im getting different tires next time.

Sweet truck and yes we all love pics here lol.

Wink those goodyear eagles are junk. I have Toyo Open Country A/T's but im getting Cooper Discoverer ATR's next time. They are an all terrian and my father has had them on the company trucks forever and always had really good luck with them. Wear well and do good whether its snow or mud. Im assuming you get a good amount of snow out there in OH.

oh yea, plenty of snow where im at. The goodyears look nice but they just suck. there have actually been times when in snow i'll be stopped at a light and the truck will just start sliding to the right because the right rear tire will sit there and spin while im stopped. i may as well have slicks. in rain i can punch the gas to the floor and spin through halfway 3rd gear, and needless to say its not because of my mighty 3.9 either.
my buddy had the same wheels and tires I do and he got his changed to mastercraft courser HTR's. they look alright and he said they're alot better than the eagles.

i have the Goodyear wrangler AT/S's also and although i haven't had too much trouble with them, they do wear down pretty quick, i just plan on doing a lift and getting new rims/tires at the same time ()

o yeah good looking truck!

Cheers.

I have goodyear tracker 2's, and even in mostly highway miles, seem to be wearing pretty aggressively.

The Hemi has the OE wranglers, my dad doesn't even bother to rotate them. They have a slight cupping issue, but He just but the third set on at 150,000.....They're lasting almost exactly 50K.
