Nice looking truck, the tires really do make a huge difference on the OEM wheels.

I had 33s on my OEM wheels and didn't look half as good as that guys who posted his. What are those 305s?

thanks for the compliments fellas. now you've made me want to post some more.






As for silver05's question, I think 33'' tires are 305's. I really like these tires a lot. They're more aggressive than an A/T but not as much as a M/T. I think more people should give these tires a look. So many folks go for the BFG, Nitto, and Toyo. I don't think these tires get the attention they deserve, especially if you do go off the beat and path. I mean hey, they're Mickey Thompson's for crying out loud!! If they're good enough for Stacey David, they're good enough for me!

These trucks look good with OEM wheels and a better tire. I think the 17's offer a decent upgrade path. The 18 inch wheels are getting some attention from the tire manufacturers so it is nice to see that our oem wheels can handle some nice size tires. Not to long ago I saw a truck that had the steel wheels and 33's and it looked good as well. With all the OEM's flooding the market I was thinking of some take off wheels and better tires for hunting. Keep the pics coming and thanks for the posts.
