    Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!


    The tires are 265/70/17's they're definity AT tires, they were on the truck when I bought it and were practically brand new so im gonna run em till they wear out, actually im pretty impressed with their snow traction and overall performance so far for a cheap generic tire, I want to step up to a 285 but doubt I will with gas hanging over $3/gal my mpg already suffered enough from the lift/bumper
