Default Got some new tires on the truck

So first off let me just say that I LOVE these tires! Cooper Discoverer at/3's..... Surprisingly they have a slight hum at 30 mph, haven't had them up to highway speeds yet, but I did notice a nice little hum and I like it Size: 265/75/16's 10 ply (load range E). Note: I got them for a discount price because the size was stamped wrong on the tire. The "stamped' size says 245/75 but the me and the manager vigorously looked at the 265/75 and compared them, there is no difference in size. None. He also said that they didn't even have 245's in stock and the sticker even said 265. Total price due to this screw up? $101.34 a tire, out the door price with road hazard and lifetime rotation was $483.96 Here is a pic:DSCN1279.jpg

Very nice, I saw those tires in a store and they looked pretty good.
Let us know how they do in the snow.

Mitsu---------They are 16's.

Not sure what stock is, as I bought the truck with them. City is avg'd around 15-15.5ish mpg, highway is somewhere right around there as well. With 265/75/16's at 55 I'm turning 21-2200 RPM's, at 70 it's 2450-2500 RPM's lol
EDIT: I see you live in old Forge/ Clinton, I'm from Oswego(just south) I'm always down for a road trip, I could meet up with you in Old Forge and let you drive the truck if needed...
