Just a couple truck pics from this morning's sunrise.







And the sunrise I speak of.

No, they are close though, just not that wide. They are 285/70's. Honestly I liked them when new, but they wore WAYYY too fast, won't be getting these again.

Thinking about getting some wheel spacers to widen the stance of the truck bit since my wheels are a +18 offset. I was looking at these, what do everyone think?

I have had them for 3 years now, and only 40k miles or so and the tire guys told me to replace them soon. I rotated every 3k miles with oil changes...so that's too soon I think.

New, they were awesome, I could go anywhere I wanted. Once they reached 1/2 life, they got LOUD and traction started to suck pretty bad.

My next tires will be the GY Duratrac's. I have never owned Good year before but have heard great things about them so will give them a try.
