finally got some new shoes for the mega cab

drunk on diesel · 07-23-2009, 04:03 PM

I like the factory Michelins because they last forever, and they're nice and light... good for acceleration

but I wanted to calm the RPM down on the highway and get something a little bigger under there to balance out the look of the truck.

I went with the 285/75/17 Dura Graplers. Truck looks like it should have come w/ these from the factory

They didn't take much weight to balance, and I've had them up to 90mph so far.

I'm headed up to Colorado tomorrow or the next day, so I swapped my 62/71 for my 62/65 when I got back from the tire shop. much more responsive... hopefully be a nice combo for high altitude w/ the taller tires

can you post up a picture. I am looking at these tires in that size too and wanted to know what they looked like.

Thanks...
