Hey Drew (or anyone else for that matter!),

If you want a set of steelies, I have a set that I'd love to part with. Make me an offer! Has a set of Michelins on them with only 70-some thousand miles on them if you want them complete.


*ending shameless attempt to clean junk out of my garage*

Truck looks good with the new rubber and leveling kit.

The pure math works out to 34.36 inches in diameter. That is modified some by how much they flatten out on the bottom when you put weight on them. It goes like this 315/25.4= 12.4, 12.4 * .7 = 8.68, 8.86*2= 17.36, 17.36 + 17= 34.36. 315 is the width in millimeters divide that by 25.4 to get inches. The 70 represents the side wall hight as a percentage of width. Double the side wall hight then add the rim diameter for the total tire diameter.

But whay I want to know is.... Drew have you learned to park your truck in gear yet?
