Nice setup. What tires are you running there?

Thank you. : )
Goodyear Duratracs. Stock size (20 inch rims). I knew I was going to get the Hankooks with the FX4 package, and they looked like road tires. I had a set of Duratracs on my old '07, and really liked them, especially for the snow-packed roads in Winter. I hit my local Discount Tire up (about a week before the truck arrived), and they gave me $125 each for the Hankooks. They ordered the Duratracs so they would have them ready when my truck arrived.

Nice! How is the road noise and smoothness for both fast and slow speeds?

How was the wear of the Duratracs on your '07?

They are pretty quiet, but will likely get a bit louder as they age. Smooth-wise....Hard to say. My truck feels like it is floating on air compared to my '07, so the different suspension makes a huge difference.

Fantastic. I got ~50K miles out of the set on my 07. They got rotated every 5K.
