Got my tires today! pics
Nice! Thats the same tire I have, size and everything. Well mine are 10 ply, yours don't look like 10 or are they? If you haven't had them before, you'll like them. I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon here and tell you to get an alignment. Those old tires were road worthy no problem haha!
For the record...I did get an alignment
Got one done when those firestones started wearing like that but it was just too late, they were gonna wear like that anyway. Really sucks that I spent 600 on those tires and with about 30k on them they looked like that. Never thought I should have gotten an alignment. I never would have driven on them for that long if it wasn't for my girlfriend needing my old expy and I was kinda pressed for cash so I couldn't afford tires right away. As for the new tires...I love them although it's kinda hard to do a review since I've only put about 100 miles on them. I don't much care for street tires on any truck but I thought that these ones had good balance between the two. Not to aggressive and not to street looking. I paid 150 each and they are 6ply's which should be enough for the amount of towing I do. I had 2in lift spacers but decided that my truck sat level enough and the spacers didn't justify the amount of stress I'd be putting on the ball joints so I sold them. Maybe down the road I'll get a 1.5in. I don't know, what do yall think?

Do you have 2wd or 4wd? If you have 2wd do they rub at all in the front at full lock-up?
She's a 2 wheeler and no they don't rub any. I think 265's are the largest you can go on a 2wd without rubbing. I wouldn't want anything bigger anyway because it's only a 2wd and I don't want to do any re gearing.

The reason I asked is, I knew a guy that put 265's on his 99 Ram and they rubbed. I have BF Good Rich 245's on mine right now and there a 50 thousand mile tire and I have about 60 thousand on them now with still plenty of tread left.. I alligned them once and rotate them every 10 or 12 thousand miles, which is about every 3 months!! I have been thinking of possibly going with 265's when I change them out. What is you factory size 225 or 245?
Hmm, well they definatley don't feel like slicks now and I'm sure a set of slicks would have done better than the tires that were on there haha.
They're fine on the road, but they are the worst AT out there when you get on the dirt. Compared to what you had, ya they're def better!
