Mastercraft Courser CT
Well well well , after weeks and weeks of tring to figure out what exactly i am going to do with tires and rims on my truck , wanting to upgrade the rims , go up a size on the tires , which transformed in to needing exstended control arms 3rd gen track bar and all sorts of stuff that was going to cost lots of money i have decided my plan of attack .
Im going to restore my rims , i just dropped $145 at NTW on new Dick Cepek Stainless Steel Center Caps and for new lug nuts After talking with a DC rep they dont make the d/c bolts for the bead locker any more and they sugguest just using stainless steel bolts , they told me the bolts are 8mm, thread is 1 ¼ where can i get them at ? and should i get brass ones? And Procomp is moving there factory so everyone is sold out and they wont be making tires for 5 weeks and they didnt carry the 305/70/16 like im running now and i would of had to go to the 315's and wondering about the rubbing and fuel mileage and ect... so i said screw it , getting the 305/70/16 courser ct's ive done quite a bit of research and they go good in the snow and mud and have great tread ware , and they look aggressive for an AT tire so... Im going to clean my rims up , add new lug nuts and center caps and go with the 305/70/16 courser ct's |
ohhh look what i found

Went with the Metric socket head screws, Stainless Steel A-2 (18-8), 8mm x 1.25 x 30mm
Got 50 of them for $29.05 to replace the bolts in for the bead locker ring that they never did come out with |

Something that you could do to keep them nice once you get everything cleaned-up is to get it all powdercoated, you'll have to keep us updated on the tires, I've seen alot of people running them but I have heard a few people who didn't think too highly of them, but I haven't ruled them out as my next tires either.

I just cleaned up my winter rims last night. and got new center caps. my caps had twice the rust and they are only 3-4 years old. only run them in winter then they are washed and stored inside. what a difference a buffer and polish compound makes

Getting the tires through sponsor New Era Diesel for $800 Total Mounted and Balanced
Should be getting them on Monday http://www.stopandgotires.com/models/Courser-CT.jpg |
These tires look alot like my Cooper ST's.
They are going to be crappy on ice ! Why not go with 285's? They are as tall as a 305, are cheaper, get better milage, and dont throw crap all over the side of your truck due to being skinnier. BTW, FYI - we have a forum for TIRE DISCUSSION...:D:D |
i like the look of them one question if you have aluminum rims with a protective coating thats coming off how do you clean them up to look good again:humm:
