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. Raoul, I'll get you a couple pics tommorrow since you said you may be interested in buying a set.

 

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

 

Great to hear Discount Tire (Direct) took care of the problem.

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

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.

 

Got my truck all cleaned up today, and my Dad took off with my camera. 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.

 

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.
