Of course those 235 85 -16 tires and wheels are heavier than they used to be, when mounting them on the spin balancer....
I bet that they are pretty close to the same as my 265/75/16 on mine.... oh wait, yours are load range E so they would be heavier due to more material.

Yes they are heavier...I'm going to make up a lift or jack to make it easier to mount on the balancer....or get one of the son's to do it.... Those 8 bolt steel wheels are heavy without the tires.

Damn George, those wheels must be heavy. I forget how much beefier things are on the 250's compared to the 150's.

I think they are making things out of lot better materials now, Neil.
A few years back lots of items weren't as heavy as they are now....

96* in the shade.

Well I found out from my wife that the exhaust manifold replacement on the truck was a lot cheaper than I was quoted. It ended up being just over $320 for parts and labor. I was quoted that it would be around $500. WOO HOOO!
