    New Shoes

    Well I had said that I was not going to clean the white letters on the tires because I was getting new ones today =) So here they are

    35" Toyo Open Country M/T's


    Just got back from the tire shop and very happy.

    Looks great Chris! Now it's time to apply a coat or two of Bold N Bright.

    They really make the truck look awesome. But I have two questions.

    1. Won't the larger size tire change your speedometer / odometer readings and change how the ABS/traction control works? I know it doesn't matter if you get a bigger wheel and a smaller profile tire and the diameter of the whole wheel & tire set up stays about the same. But, in this case the new tire looks much larger. Could this cause an issue?

    2. How are they on the highway at around 60 mph? Are they super noisy, or not much different?

    Looking good Pockets. I had the same BFG AT on my F150 before I sold it. I really liked those tires.

    I just picked up some Cooper Zeons for my Dodge Ram.

    It's amazing how switching the tires changes the look of the truck.

    Sure will be easier to dress these don't have to worry about getting dirty dressing on the white letters anymore and all I need to do is a quick brush and no scrubbing white letters.

    Those are 18" rims stock to the truck (chrome package) and yes the tires were very expensive haha

    1. Sure will. But I have a programmer in the truck for custom tunes and I can change the tire size so the spedo will be accurate =) It's an edge CTS programmer with custom tunes from Power Hungry Performance. The ABS sucks anyway and these are not much bigger than the previous ones but are much more massive than the stockers

    2. No problems at all and not much more noise than the AT tires I had on it before. I can hardly hear them with the windows up, and when the music is on forget about it.
