Cleaned up with new tires

I took the truck in for new brakes and tires the other day. I ended up needing all new brake pads, they turned all of the rotors, 4 new tires and an alignment.

I decided I was tired of cleaning the white letters so I went with the black-walls instead. I also upgraded to ceramic pads.

After looking at it for a couple of days, I am happy that I opted out of the white letters. I think it is a cleaner look.

The tires are Goodyear Wrangler SR-A. I got them for $110/tire with a $20 rebate.

I have almost 43,000 miles and I still had the factory pads and tires. I was happy to get that many miles out of them. I had to replace the factory tires on my '98 at around 41,000 miles.

Nice setup. I just rotated my tire's and did a brake inspection today. I replaced the factory pads at 42000 and I'm sitting on 76500 and they still look new!
