Default tires

Well i broke down and bought some new tires yesterday, kinda makes you wonder why you like lifted vehicles when you spend 1500 bucks for 4 tires.

Anyways i got a pretty good deal considering the fact that it is alot of money

Got 4 37x12.50 r20 Nitto trail grapplers for 1399.96 +100 bucks shipping from wisonsin to Nc.
Pics to come!

Not real sure, Truck only has 30,000 on it, but chewed the ones on it due to a bad balance/alignment issue..... long story, but i am hoping for about 40-50

Birddog, truck looks great. Yeah, 37's on 20's = Not Cheap. What made you go away from the Toyo's? Or just a change?

actually just looking around, i wanted to try a 12.50 instead of 13.50 and toyo didnt offer them, i found a deal on 4 for 1400 bucks and that was cheapest i found in my size and nitto seems to be a pretty good tire.


wow that was a long answer
