New tire on my truck :) (Pics)

Well, I replaced my stock rugged trails with some Toyo MT's I went with 33x12.50x18 on my stock 18" KR wheels as i couldnt find any rims that would look any good on my color truck.

These tires absolutley rock.. They are a bit expensive but worth every penny. They are so quite unlike other mud terrain tires.

The back is normally about a half inch higher, but i still have my old tires in the bed.

Enough yapping here are the pics..

Quiet tread? I would have to hear that to believe it.

The tread blocks look really similar to some old Goodyear Wranglers that I ran back in the late 80's. Not even sure if you can still get them. Those things sang like no tomorrow.

They should get you wherever you intend on going and then some.

no- the toyo mts are ridiculously quiet- they are amazing- had the same size on my stockers before i moved up to my current 35" pro comp xterrains which are 2-3x louder than the toyos were

Thanks guys.. I really am loving them so far.. I dont know how Toyo did it.. Its magic! Im serious these tires are pretty much as quite as the stock BFG rugged trails at freeways speeds. You can hear them a tiny bit at about 50MPH with the raido OFF, but once you get about 60MPH the wind noise is louder than the tire noise really.. I truely am amazed how quite they are..

And to anwer questions.. Im running a 2" Autosping Leveling Kit and i have No rubbing at not. And did not trim anything.

Ops looks like i forgot one question.. Yes i noticed a slight decrease in town. However on the freeway it is no different.. I dont really think it is becuase of the increase in tire diameter as it is the increase in tire weight.. These muds weight way more than the stockers.

Its not so much a power loss. My truck still feels as peppy as before, but i have to give it slighty more throttle on acceleration than i use to.. So for milage hasnt changed but ive only had them for a day and a half.

After searching high and low and price matching and making two stores compete back and forth to get the price down as low as possible i got them for $1225 OTD. (tax and such included.)

Those are some good looking tires. They aren't too agressively styled compared to some of the others.
