Nice! I paid more than that for my 235/16's
well that cost me a bit more than I expected. The shop that installed my tires also services all my companies vehicles. straight shooters. They found major play in the passenger front wheel bearing and a leaking axle seal... I have no problem paying to get the truck fixed correctly.
Total repair plus tire mounting $580
Maybe I'm out but there is just something so nice and wonderful about a new set of tires I just want to buy them all the time. I keep waiting on mine to wear out so I can buy some.
LOL! Me too! Every time I buy tires I have ten people telling me you can get another five/ten thousand out of the tires you have. Trouble is those hundreds of job sites and roofing nails that I've had plugged. I get tired of looking for air when I'm out on the road.Quote:

drove the truck through sheeting rain, blowing wind and crappy pavement tonight. The new tires are light years better that my last set even when they were new..Winner
So now that I have 500 or so miles on the tires I can say that I made the right choice. That and its amazing how much better the steering is when you replace a bad wheel bearing. Did a fly fishing trip yesterday. crappy potholed freeway, mt pass, high crown rural roads, dirt and gravel to the lake. One handed driving for the most part. It almost felt like I was driving a new truck instead of a 15 year old beater..WIN
Do you by chance remember how much the rims cost? Also what kind of mileage do those tires get?
I have seen the Vision Heavy Hauler wheels for $220 each on line. as far as mileage...these tires are designed for really heavy loads and long wear. they are rated to carry 4500 pounds of load as are the wheels. My guess is 80,000 plus miles on the loads I will be carrying.Quote:
