    yeah, the tires aren't what concerns me, it would be the part-time kid who was hired without any experience to change my tires:)

    Yeah I would have gotten those tires but they don't make a 275/70/17. I checked em out they are nice the 265/75/16 I saw for $168 a tire not a bad price. They look similar to the duratracks.

    What did you pay?

    No kids working today. Only concern is the one girl. Jk (sorta). Wil find out I forgot what it was before taxes. Basically for tires. Then 40 for extended warranty. 6 for dumping fees. Thrn taxes. I'm happy. Well see how they ride still waiting. And when I get home ima check lugs. really just want to go home

    Yeah not bad I just got BFG AT KO's in the 275 and I got discount to match an online price. I paid $1050 out the door so you saved several hundred over me.

    I was looking at those. Report back on traction (should be very good) and ride.

    Ride on road is smooth. Tires are louder. Not as loud as some trucks. I would say there as loud as nittos. I can make it up my driveway going slow in 2wd. Where before I had to get speed to make it up. It should rain her soon so I will try them out in the mud. But I'm happy with them. I'll post done pics later

    Take your truck in and have the tires road force balanced at a place other than Walmart.

    I will do this. Any idea how much it will cost? My local tire shops are a rip off. They said if I got sticky weights it would be 4$ a weight. Wtf? I'll probably get this done next pay check (feel like ive spent to much today). Got raped today with bills and tires.

    It's fairly expensive, but in my opinion worth it. The local Toyota dealer has a Hunter road force balancer and charges $90.
