Thumbs up New tires and rims

Well,they're used but new to my truck.They came off of a 06 F150 XLT,with about 25-30K miles of tread left on them! I paid $300.00 for them!

what a improvement!!!! (except the name General-)
i did a similar thing,,,,my new 05 xlt scab came with those chrome clad fake imitation wheels, and those cheap Hancock Dynapro's, so i found a set of 04 take offs , alloy spoke kind of like yours, and bought white letter BFG long trails,,i wanted the white letter tires (not to mention a name brand also), because my truck is black. Too much black. This was a smart move,,,makes your truck look almost completly differnet! thumbs up! paul

great looking rims. just goes to show what a simple mod can do to make these trucks look 100% better

not so good tires, but they'll get the job done till you can get better ones

Everyone seems to say that, but I've had mine in all kinds of bad conditions, including a northern NY winter, with no problems...work just fine for me!

Looks great, especially for that price!
