I paid 2600 the first time for the tires and wheels shipped to my door but it has been well worth it and in you case with the haul biz I would consider this to be one of the safest upgrades you could do to protect your load and yourself and also I consider it to be a wise and profitable economical decesion

man that is nice, im gonna need new tires in about a month or two max. so that is definately the way i am gonna go. i like the tires too, they got a nice tread pattern. do those hold up on the highway just like other commercial tires?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---
