Default New tires

Getting new tires put on. Got a deal on the Hankook Dynapro, 265/70-17. $715.00 out the door, lifetime rotations and balancing plus lifetime repair/replacement warranty. Pics later. I am at work.

have not had a chance to armor-all them yet. Seems like I could have gone a bigger size. These are an inch taller than stock (31.6"), but I could not find any decent priced tires in the 275/75-17 size (32"). Oh, and you can also see my new in-channel window visors, so much cleaner than the old stick on ones.

Finally got them, they look good. I'm not sure how the 75's would fit though, you may have been able to stuff them in there. Plus it's good to see some room in the wheel well, I don't really like when too much tire is stuffed in there.

I did my research. these tires have great reviews. It came down to these or the cooper discoverer at3. They didnt have the coopers in stock. We had hankooks on my wifes journey that lasted almost 50k miles. and I got the warranty on them so if there are problems I'll just get new ones.

They look good, I've read a lot of positive reviews on them as well. But watch them close, everyone I personally know with Hankooks on a truck have had cracking and chunking off pieces of rubber after about a year and a half with them...
