Default Winter rubbers

215/75r15 (dean tire) wintercats, mounted on 15" cragars
this is the "stock" size, also 2" bigger than my summer tires, and 1.75 inches taller than i have room for in hte front, so a cutting session will be needed before i put them on the front, because i am not going to install tires and risk cutting them to ribbons

Is it just me or does your front tire look like it's going to fall off? So is this thing done now?

No way. Your truck is capable of hauling around a toolbox? :P

i like my toolbox,its awful handy since my battery is there, my compressor relays are there, my tools and other misc stuff i need but dont want in the cab are in there.... and the mud is a result of having to drive on a dirt/gravel driveway at work, otherwise this truck never really leaves pavement.

and i did manage to get the tall rubbers fit in the front,
