Widow makers gone

Well I got my WM’s pulled off and got the 19.5’s on just an FYI changing six large tires is a PITA… I will have to pull them off again to paint the rims. I know twice the work but I wanted the air out of the old WM’s as soon I could. I cut the tube steams as soon as I pulled from the truck.

Congratulations! That's great! What did the "new" wheels come off?

A Dodge RV never saw it. I found a guy on CL that had them listed. Tires are going to work for a while so it was a great deal.

Outstanding, you're set to go now. Were you able to find them locally? The tires look to me like the 225/70R19.5s which are about 32" tall, is that right? When you get to the point where you're looking for new tires I'd suggest looking at pictures of trucks with the 8R19.5s on these same wheels. They're about 35" tall which to my eye fit the truck better. Again, congrat's. Stu

I had to have them shipped truck fright. This was half of my cost but it was still cheaper the driving to get them. As little driving I plan on doing with this F4 these tires should last a long time.
