Default Getting new tires tomorrow!

So we all know the SRA's are nothing but CRAP! The tread is just terrible and GONE. It's at 1/32 as the dealer told me. I'm getting new tires tomorrow, I can't wait...I ordered them Friday they said they'd be here tmrw at lunch time! I'm stickin with my stock size 265/60/18 and getting the Bridgestone Dueler A/T 695's. I wanted the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A K/O's but they don't come in my size and I didn't feel like cutting anything. Plus I've heard some bad things about them and I'm having a hard time believing it, I don't want to believe it lol because those tires have the sweetest tread on them that I've ever seen. I heard they suck in snow. Hmm. The Pathfinder All Terrain looks like it has the similiar tread. I've heard nothing but good stuff about the Dueler's either. My dad has had a pair on his truck since he got it and he bought his truck in 2004 and has over 60,000 miles on them!

I had Duelers on my Ford Explorer and they were great. They made it over 50,000 miles before I traded it in. Congrats on the new tires.

thats awesome. i went with prime wells i got at firestone. pretty good performing tire. Have a deep tread pattern, good in the mud, fairly quiet on the road but loud in the rain. for $450 bucks and being a MT it was my best rout to go seeing how i was broke and it was time for inspection and it would have failed
