Yes! They don't vibrate no mo!
 
Discount Tire Direct sent me my two replacement tires yesterday. I had two out of round tires the first go around that vibrated at 40 mph. I had the replacements put on today, and now my truck drives smooth as a baby's behind.:beers: Raoul, I'll get you a couple pics tommorrow since you said you may be interested in buying a set.:thumbsup:

Sweet! Discount Tire is gaining a great reputation for customer service.

Yeah, they're great to deal with. Customer satisfaction is big on their list it seems. :beers:

Raoul, my first impression with these Yokohama Geolandar HT-S G051's is a good one. My truck drives like it's on rails, and it feels alot more sure-footed. Almost sports car-like. I've driven in the rain once so far, and the tires won't give up anything. They stick. My truck would wander left or right at highway speeds with my old A/T's. But with the Yoko's, you actually have to move the steering wheel to get it to turn even an inch. That's how well they dig in. Wet/dry traction is awesome. I can imagine they'll do just fine in the snow too. At $100 per tire with free shipping, great customer service, and a 60k mile manufacturer's warranty, they're hard to beat.:thumbsup:

Got my truck all cleaned up today, and my Dad took off with my camera.:lol: I still have the stock polished aluminum wheels, but these tires make my truck look alot better. Pics coming soon.

Here's a few pics of the tires. I went with the white-letters out because I can't stand to see white letters on the inside.:thumbsup:

IMO, white letters out give a truck a sportier look. I had the same wheels on my rig when I purchased it and the tires had the black lettering out. When I purchased the new wheels, I had them put the white letters out. I didn't beleive it was my rig w/ the new wheels and white letters out. It looked totally different!

I agree, they look sportier. IMO, the only time you need to go black-letters out is on a solid black, or a very dark-blue truck that has everything blacked-out. Trucks with light-colored paint like yours, and two-tone paint jobs like mine, look better with the white-letters out. Just my 2-cents.:thumbsup:
