got some new tires today
With an aspect ratio of 30, they are just about as low profile as you can get. Looking at the photos, the sidewall looks straighter than I'd have thought for a tire that Michelin says should be on an 12 to 13 inch wide rim. No matter how straight it looks, if Michelin says they go on a 12 to 13 inch wide wheel, I'd be pretty skeptical of putting them on 9.5 inch wheels.
By the way, those things are expensive! They're about $335 each at Tire Rack.

not a problem ill get some diffrent shots tomarrow .
i am looking into what everyone has been saying though.
i have taken the truck to 3 diffrent tire shops (bell tire, kanrock, and discount tire) all 3 if them were very suprised that i even got the tires on the rim in the first place, they highly doubt that they will fall off durning a hard high speed turn but any thing is possiable right? anyway they said that they have seen worse that it should not be a problem,
but i emailed michelin and asked there opinion but i have not got a reply yet ill post it up when i get it..

"The Michelin corporation does not recommend the fitment of any tire in variance with the published specifications."

i havent herd back from Michelin yet and for some reason i dont think i will but anyway every tire place i have been to says they are fine that they have seen worse fitments
