Cool My new wheels and tires

Pro Comp 305/70/16 AT's, on 16x8 American Racing Atlas wheels. What ya think? I really like them, the tires are quiet, and ride so well. I went with these because I drive so much, about 3k miles a month, and need a good lookin AT tire, that will last, and these will. Maybe these new rims will help me out at truck shows

Looks great. Just out of curiosity, why didn't you go with the 35s? Either way, the truck looks great. 33s will probably perform better with your gears. Yup.

Thumbs up

Mudder, they do look sweet! Really makes the truck standout and taller. {which is a plus} Thought my brother, which drives around 2000 miles in a month was bad, couldn't imagine 3000 miles.

Swamp Rat, mudder didn't want to go with the 35's because like he said he drives around 3000 miles a month and with 35's would'nt get very good gas mileage.

Thanks guys. I went with 33's cause like I said, I do a lot of driving. Also, I like some room in there, and with 35's I would have to trim and stuff, and I just don't want to deal with it. I like em.

Spargo, I know, they are great. Around my area, nobody has this combo on any F150's, yet.

Mudder,

Looks great. I agree with the tire size. I just went with wider wheels.

Hey mudder I agree with the choice of 33's. I too drive 2500+ miles a month and with my 33's I was trying to help the wallet at the gas pump.

Question

You might try turning in the white letters to see how you like it. Some people think black with the really shiny rims are the way to go. But the way it looks now is GREAT! So if it ain't broke don't fix it right. Just something to think about trying on a rainy day

As alwas tho mudder the truck just keeps getting better. Secret weapon... Zaino...

Got retina damaging shine?

Catch ya later

how much tread do they have left? If you can hold on to them for a while i would be able to buy them from you.

You know how much shipping would be?
