new shoes.....FINALLY!!!
Ive needed new tires for over a year now but didnt want to spend the money till i bought a house, then i waited for the new year. today i went to big o tires and had them strap on a set of trail grapplers (37x12.50x20). I remember about 10 years ago when i was shopping for 44s for my f250 that the shop i went to were adamant that balance bags were better then actually balancing the tires but i sold the truck before buying tires and never got to try the bags out. well when big o said it was the way to go today, i went for it. for those that dont know, balance bags are a bags of sand they dump into each tire to balance them instead of using weights. all i can say is WOW! what a f*cking difference. its as smooth as my fiance's camery but is comfortable to sit it. and i think the truck looks good with some tread, my kumohs were basically slicks. service at big o was great, work was done in about an hour and everyone i talked to was very knowledgeable. They wanted to charge me a $12 disposal fee to trash my old tires, i told them i didnt want to pay that so they said i didnt have to, thought that was nice

i ended up paying about $2100 out the door. from my research online and going to a couple places not only is 37" an "odd size" but also, 20" wheels makes tires really jump in price. 4wheel parts was the worst tho. they had a deal on procomps they told me. buy 3 get one for free. with that deal it would have been just under $3000 out the door. i laughed at him and hung up the phone.
