New Rubber/wheels showed up today!! PICS

Well, Thanks to my friends at 4wheel parts and my lovely car care one cc, these arrived today!!

Famous Jeff Foxworthy saying, "You might be a Redneck if your tires on your truck cost more than your truck" lol I pd 1500 for the truck and the wheels were a tad more!!!


Tire specs: 35x12.5x18 Mickey Thompson ATZ, load range E 3250 lbs ea, rims are pro comp 18x9 and also rated at like 3200 ea,simulated bead lock, so I think I chose a pretty heavy duty combo... The tires are a true 35" too.. I really like them, they ride so good, I have them on my 06 and love them!!

I am not a fan of aftermarket rims, but your selection of tires and rims compliment the truck and they looked "tucked inside" the fenderwell. BTW - nice looking 1st gen - I always liked them and yours looks great.

Awesome, I have 25k on them and they are still at 75-80 percent left I'd say.... They are pricey, but they have a high load rating and are really agressive as far as All terrain's are considered, they are wearing nice and flat to.. So, that is why I decided to get them on my first gen, originally I wanted to go with the MTZ, but I know those won't last to long as far as miles go, but they would have looked cooler I think...

I have the moto metals on my 06, these were bought specifically for the first gen, I don't think I could clear them on the new truck, they are pretty tall. But here is a pic of the moto metals on the 06

Thanks for the picts, I like the wheels on the 1st gen, I'm looking for all black wheels and they seem to be hard to find in the style I like.... may have to powder coat my stock wheels but I hear it don't last long....

Well, I don't think anything is good on ice unless you have pics or something... The only ice I ever see is black ice, and tires don't matter much then..lol
