nice, can i ask how much those ran ya, im guessing 1500 bucks

322 each so ya 1288 total

cool thing is not one wheel weight inside or out......................just 8oz of some liquid wheel balancing crap in there and thats it ......smooth ride too

I know I will get 120k out of em no problem

if your truck lasts that long LOL

it will..........but can I stand it that long :w2:

How do these tires stack up against more typical E-rated tires from Discount Tire? Do they get as good of traction? How much do they weigh? Do they affect your mileage much?

Thats because your truck doesnt make enough power to wear them out. :ha:












































:sorry: Kev.

these tires are load range H rated at 6400 lbs.....see the rickson link I provided at the top post

anyway the only downfall is they are stiff and roughin up the ride a bit

traction was great

no highway noise more so than normal

they are heavy.....like 3x that of any 16" tire ya have

milage was about the same as with my 16" tires on

So far since I put mine on a few weeks back I have found that the mileage and ride is about the same as with my old tires, for snow they work well but in mud they are almost adequate and as far as weight, my aluminum Rickson wheels and tires together weigh in at 110 pounds per corner. For the added weight rating and tread wear on these things, I'll never go back.

I have the steel wheels and total weight each was 172 lbs :U:

I also have the smallest tire size on these that they will hold and that cuts a considerable amount of weight. I think in the spring I'm goin bigger though.

I really like the 265's I got now

Damn it! That's just something else to add to my list of things I want for my truck.

wow, nice lookin tires bud! and making $240 back isn't bad either!

Hey Whitty. So now you've had these through some bad weather, how are they.

If someone wants some 19.5s wheel and tires I know someone with some for sale.

Andy

Throw em in the for sale area and I bet they're gone within the day.:w2:
