Default Got these today...



265/70/18 on a 2010 XLT Scab 2wd, no rubbing, even during hard turns. i chose these because i couldn't get the Nitto's i wanted because they were out of my size nationally and they didn't know when they would get anymore. so far i like these pretty good. they definitely change how the truck looks...

Very nice! I like the sidewall writing and how the tread graphics come down some...looks good.

Were they less expensive the Nitto's cuz I know they aren't cheap?

they were less expensive than the Nitto's but not a whole lot. these cost me $697 mounted, balanced, taxes out the door from Discount Tire. the Nitto's were going to be $765.

Well I would say that you got a good price.

Thanks for the 'full body' pix...it looks good, and nice advertisement you got going on in the back window!

Thinking about leveling it or gonna leave it as is?

thanks for the nice comments! yeah, my truck and my wife's MINI has our company logo in the back glass. it's GREAT advertisement! i was going to level it, but i think i am going to leave it alone for a while. if i ever get new wheels i might level it, but i kinda like the stock wheels now...

Well you have much greater self control than a lot of us on here. I have found it very hard to not want to make changes to my truck after spending time on this board so guard your eyes and guard your wallet my friend!

Oh, and in my best online Homer Simpson impersonation,

Looks great - notice any difference in the ride, noise etc? I ordered Firestone Destination A/T's today 275/65/18 - for the same wheels. Anxious to get them on next week - Wednesday to be specific.

there is some more harshness to the ride, but i figured there would be being an all terrain tire. it's not that bad though and i can live with it. other than my speedo being off by 2mph, i don't have any complaints. i hope we get some snow this year so i can give them a true test. my truck will never see the woods or trails. but i love the looks of an aggressive tire on these trucks.
