It's time for new rubber to slip over these Rickson wheels. Anybody got any recommendations for good tire suppliers. I know they are gonna be mail ordered because everyplace here local is way over priced.

 

What he said...

 

Nobody, nothin.

 

I found a good deal on a set of tires on Ebay a couple years back, free shipping too

 

I just put a set of Michelins on my F550 (yes I have a Ford) and they are fantastic. I know we pay a ton more up here, but at $430 each it is a super deal...

I dont have the truck here, so Im not sure what tire it is but I will find out for ya quick

Michelin XDS2...Load range H

Great traction on ice and snow so far...

 

Hey Bonehead, I'm still waitin for my cash or hooker. Ain't seen either show up on the porch yet.

I'm doin a set of Toyo's, just tryin to find a good shop to order them from.

Haha...Well heres the story...we won some cash, that part was easy! So we picked out the perfect hooker for ya, but being the good buddy that I am, thought I should test drive her before we put her on the bus...I mean, cmon, what if she was no good! She was good, on the first drive, but I was worried about longevity, so I thought I better give her one more test run...Heck, by time I was done testing, I was all out of money...

Damn...going back in April, I have a better plan this time, so I will get her on the bus one way or another...

Tires look good, should be perfect!

 

Tires go on in the morning. Ended up giving up on the Toyo's Called several different dealers and told them what the truck is used for and they all gave the exact same recommendation. It's a tire designed primarily for wrecker service trucks. The Cooper RM190.

Looks like a great tire, but wouldnt work for me on the ice and snow. Too bad, it looks good!!

 

They said it's great for snow and mud. The drawback is the expected life span. On wreckers they average 50-60,000 miles. On the tires that's bad. But it should be longer on a regular pickup though.

But at only $230 a corner for the 245's I'm not complaining
