    Well, I went to TireRack in South Bend yesterday, which that never ends well for my bank account. I decided to go with dk. bronze wheels. I was a bit nervous about the color, but once I saw it on the truck I was sold. The tires are 265/65/17's. I am very happy with the ride & quietness of the tires, they're much smoother & quieter than the OEM steelies with the Dunlops. At 21k miles the Dunlops still had pretty decent tread on them, but I wanted something different and didn't want to wait-out the Dunlops for another year or more.

    I actually don't know if that's a new tire or not. Tire Rack showed the Grabber HTS and a Grabber HTS 60, not sure which is newer.

    Are your nerf bars on wrong or is it just me? I would feel like having the step towards the back makes more sense.

    It's just you. o_O
    No, they are in the perfect spot. My wife is handicapped, and she actually needs to use them, and they work quite well.
