Got the new tires on

before

after

They are 295/70-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers I'm real happy with the way the truck looks now. No rubbing either with just a 2" LK!

How is the noise at highway speeds? I been looking at new tires even though the truck only has 1k miles on it. I really like the factory tires due to how quiet they are rollin down the interstate, i dont want the mud tire hum going down the road. Truck looks bad ***.

Thanks! The stockers only had 5800 mi on them and if I had the money they would've been replaced sooner than this. I haven't had it on the hiway yet, but they're an AT not an MT. I've had Swampers on several trucks in the past so I don't mind a little "hum" but the short trip- about 10 mi- from the tire place to home I didn't notice any hum at all. Maybe just a little more than the crappy stock GY SR-A's. And they're made in the U.S.A.

After driving it a little more today they do have a slightly noticeable growl, but nothing obnoxious. Running 55 lbs in fronts, 52 in rear, might have to play with pressures a bit. Its just a little bouncy, nothing over the top, just being objective.

Those do look good, Tim. Unfortunately, I'll be waiting until mine wear out before I replace them.

Do lots of burnouts! So, I gotta ask, its been a few weeks now, do you miss the diesel? I miss the truck itself, but not the "rest". If it had a V-10 and not the 6.0 I'd probably still have it.

Good advice. I do miss it to some degree. Honestly, I agree that if it were a V-10 I would probably still have it, also.
