Default Got New Tires

Had a blowout last night and got some new tires today. 1.5" AutoSpring leveling kit is on the way. Got BFG KO2 275/60/20. I think they look great. Wheels are dirty though. Also, I noticed some of the chrome has chipped on the edges of a few of my wheels. This was the first tire change, and I only had one blowout. Kinda pissed, although it's not bad. Think I'm going to stop by the shop on my way home. It's barely noticeable but damnit if I did freakin notice it.

Those wheels are known to have that peeling and pitting issue, a lot of the 2015 guys complained about it.

Nice truck btw!

Thanks man. I've never noticed this, and I am meticulous about my truck. I could see one wheel messed up from the blowout, but not 3 of the 4. So, I'm swinging by. Here are some pics I just grabbed. Excuse how dirty they are, some of it is from the greese they use, some is from the damn rain we've been having

Your wheels look pretty hammered to me, but those chips around the rim most definitely came from installing new tires.

It's been massive flooding here, and they left grease all over my wheels. Haven't been cleaned in over a month. They're dirty for sure, but nothing wrong until today.

1250 out the door with no questions asked replacement if I get a puncture/blowout ect. Price really started to jump if I went any bigger. About 100-150 less than other places I got quotes from

Thanks for the replies. I believe I got quoted $1550 for 4x 305/55 R20 out the door. Once I decide to pull the trigger on new tires I'll probably shop around a little more but it seems like that's probably the range I'll be looking at.

Looks great LT1. What tires did you have on previously? Can you comment on the difference between the two so far? Thanks
