Default Truck Got New Tread

Got my Tires today I went with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO LT305/65 R18 on stock rims so far they seem to ride nice and there is absolutely no rubbing and they look good to! Going to get new rims come this spring hoping to have a little extra jing by then. I'll try to post pics this weekend.The only thing I seem to have a problem with is, I tried to change the tire size with my tuner SCT X3 w/VMP tunes and I can't figure it out thought I did but when I changed it the truck wouldn't start not even a click had to go back to stock then to one of the cust tunes now at least it runs. guess I'll have to get in touch with with Justin or call SCT for a little help

It is a live chat option on the computer.
Go here,
http://www.sctflash.com/contact.php and the link is towards the bottom on the left.

As for Justin, I have found that if he doesn't get back to you in a day or so, he probably doesn't have your eamil. Every time I sent him one if he doesn't repsond in a week he doesn't have it. Make sure you just take his previous email and reply to it.
I emailed him friday and he answered me this am. Try finding his email and repsond with it, if not at least put your order number etc. in the subject line.

Hope that helps ya

First off thanks sin I'll go there tonight. Tried calling Justin No answer try again tomorrow. Here are the pics I promised there not that great do to low light but I didn't want to make Dark Stone wait any longer lol and the weather is suppose to be pretty nasty around here the next couple of days. As you can see they fill the wheel wells nicely and like I said earlier they ride,handle GREAT! with nooo rubbing at all with no modifications and at this point they are quiet only bad side lost approx 2 miles to the gallon oh well price of looking good but I'm hopeful once I get in touch with Justin this can be corrected
