Thats who I used was Discount Tire. Ordered them on Saturday, Installed on Wednesday. Everyone I came into contact with there was very friendly and helpful. Seems like pretty good customer service.

looks really good. I am thinking about getting those bigger wheels for my summer tires then keeping my current ones for winter. I like how you filled the wheel-wells. Did you have to put a leveling kit on it or anything?

OldMansTruck...please check your pm's. I know i am a newb here, but I am needing some tires really soon. I have 52,000 miles on my BFG long trails now and they are almost bald. I have a 2008 Lariat SCREW 4X4 with the skid plates. The truck has most options available like heated leather and reverse cam. I am currently out of work, but am supposed to be back at it in the next month or so. I am a contractor for Wachovia and with the new Wells Fargo merger all contractors who have been there for 18 months have to take a 6 month leave. My 6 months was up Jan 1st and i am just waiting on the moritorium to be over with. If anyone has or knows someone who has a set of used 18 inch tires to get me by until I am working again, please let me know. I would be happy to by a set as long as the tread is decent and we can agree on a fair price. (Maybe i should start a new thread on that subject) Sorry for the long post, but I have been lurking here for a while. Also, my Dad retired from FoMoCo and if anyone needs any pins for the z plan or whatever it is just let me know. Thanks guys.

Thanks, I will. Hopefully it will be a while, but I'll be sure to check with you first next time.
