Those are the exact same tires that I plan on using when it's time for a change. They look just the right size for the wheels and the overall "fit" to the truck.

Are you planning to have your "system" re-calibrated for the change in tire size - or just live with the variance, if there is any?

Nice truck.

Nice truck.

I'm very happy with the look of the tires. They are definitely the biggest I could go without raising the front end. They miss rubbing on the front bumper by about an inch or little less when turning. They look great on the stock rims, and fill the fender well really nice.

I have the Superchips 1715, which allows me to change the tire size. Right now, I have it adjusted to 33" tires, but I may need to switch to a 32.75" setting. Either way, it is still closer than the stock setting.

I'm going to be building a custom bed cover in the next few weeks. Quite alot of design has gone in to it, so I'm hoping the actual product will be as good as I hope. It will be made out of 3/4" treated plywood, with gas struts, and covered in tan/gold marine grade vinyl. I'll post pics after it is complete. I'll also try to remember to take pics of the build process just in case it does come out well, and others might want to duplicate.

When doing the research on these tires, the lack of raised white letters was the only complaint I found. However, for the price, I'm willing to give up the letters!!!

I took a 110 mile trip today, and the tires were impressive. Very little road noise, and very smooth riding. The traction on damp pavement was very good. I'll keep everyone posted as to how well they do over time.
