Default new tires and an alignment

Happy Saturday guys. I got my tires mounted and balanced today by my buddies over at Town Fair Tire and they threw in an alignment as well (which I needed after doing suspension work). I knew these Cooper AT3's would look sweet and I was right. Upgraded from a 245/70/16 to a still stock 265/70/16. Look at the first pic and you will see that it lifted my truck quite a bit. I still have my suspension at stock height, just fresh struts and shocks. To make things plain and simple..I am VERY happy. Now enjoy my crappy cell phone/driveway/rainy pics

Default Don't forget the rebate!

Cooper tire has (or at least last week they had) a $75 rebate with the purchase of 4 tires. Did you qualify for that?

I got that one plus the $100 rebate from Discount Tire..so $175 total back. I saved a lot of money and I love my new setup.

EDIT: While backing out of my driveway at full lock I noticed a slight rub. I'm surprised since it is a stock size but I am not concerned at all. I may do some MINOR trimming tomorrow but it probably isn't even necessary.

Thanks, definitely recommend them. I think they added the final touch to my truck. Only doing maintenance from here on guys and I mean it! I cleaned and touched up the wheels today with leftover paint especially where the old wheel weights were and over the new ones. Damn, these things look good. Makes me want to get wheel locks though.
