I don't remember the specifics on the tire tread depth, but I know they can't be down to the wear bars, and mine are...

The idiots at NTB would NEVER inflate the tires to 45 PSI, saying that they had to go with what was on the door jam even though the tires are NOT OEM size, or rating... (Even when I showed them the email from BFGoodrich stating the tires needed to be kept at 45PSI cold.) So I have a LOT of shoulder wear, and decent tread left in the center of the tires...

I can't complain, I got 50K out of my BFG ATs and I abused them pretty well...

Why didn't you just inflate to 45psi yourself?

That is the right answer, go with what's on the door. The problem is that is an off the truck cold pressure. Put the tires on the truck, and run down the road and the tire pressure goes up. I always add four to the door for good measure.

I do agree with GB150 on this one!!!

No compressor, no gas stations anywhere near me that have one anymore either...

I need a compressor and soon... My requirements are a bit odd though. I need something that doesn't take up a mess of room, isn't too loud, produces clean, oil & moisture free air (I know, separators and filters are in order...) and will drive a WIDE variety of pnuematic tools like...

Impact wrench,
Air ratchet,
HVLP,
Die Grinder,
Pin nailer
Framing nailer,

and of course inflation chuck...

Thanks I dont think it is the mark lt rocker kit. Dealership did the mods when it was new ( I am the second owner). Probably some cheap kit that they overcharged on the sticker invoice.

DB, those tires look mean! Wheel wells are a little stuffed, a 4" Rancho would look perfect with those tires!
