they are 255 75 r 17 and 265 70 r 17. i was pleasantly surprised by the difference in hieght.

i have some more pictures, but i can't upload anymore. did i use up all my uploadable space? i joined photobucket, but i don't know which url to use for a pic or link to a pic. i never had a problem uploading before, i think i always made them smaller.

there.
The first part of the driving in the yard story is that i got the dak stuck in it the other day. i was trying to pull the truck out (by myself) with my jeep before nobody saw me. My neighbor pulled up right then, and I sheepishly took him up on his offer to help and he pulled me out w/ his Z71. I was so mad i went inside and immidiately ordered tires. Like i said, earlier, i drove back in the same spot today, with well over the recomended payload capacity, in two wheel drive no problem. dignity restored.
