Default New Tires.....Finally!!

Well, I had ordered new tires months ago, but the damn Hankooks just would not wear out....(not really complaining).

Today I installed my new tires, 35 x 12.5x17 Toyo Open Country M/T's. They are BIG...wow! They look good and I have only driven a few miles so far but initially feel good. I am driving nearly 3 hours total every day for work so they will get a good test in short order...

I will report more in a few days.

You will also find that they are larger than 35". They are my favorite tires, good choice.

Thanks buddy! They are big buggers...no rubbing or problems but a lot bigger than I thought they would be.

What do you run for pressures???

I am not 100% sure I am thinking 60-64, I am fighting with the pressure because of the sensors. I know we have gone from 50-74 lbs but I am getting the "check air light". I am about to switch to Nitrogen to eliminate that problem.
