I've never had Coopers....they look sweet and the price was great!
They're 285/70 17

They aren't just winter tires but that's all I'm going to use em for.
I got a set of NIB stock rims really cheap on Craigslist cause I don't want to mess up the aftermarket rims that were on the truck when I bought it

Default Lugs

So I went to put these bad boys on the truck today, because in up here in Duluth ya never know when it's gonna snow. Any way Like a dumb-*** I didn't think that the lugs from my American Racing rims would be any different than the ones I would need to put on the stock rims. Not the case....they are a LOT smaller.

So off to the auto part store I go....the first place doesn't have em but can order them....$4.49 EACH!!!!! The second place doesn't have em and can't even order em.....GRRR!!!! I gave a couple of the Ford dealerships a call and they don't have enough on hand but would be happy to order them for only $4 each!

Talk about bend over!!! I told em where to put their $4 and decided to check ebay. I know I should have started there but I wanted them now...lol. Well, I found em and got all 24 for a whopping $20.....brand new.....INCLUDING shipping and a donation to saving the boobies!!!

Sorry to ramble
