new tires M/T

Next week will have a new set of Firestone Destination M/T's put on 275/70/R18 and have alignment checked. Plan to rotate regularly and make them last. These look like great tires...can't wait!

If anyone's interested, will post a pic when I can, 33's on stock 18" wheels with 2" AS. Seems to be a popular combo, but hard to find pics

is that the proper conversion for tire size 275 is equal to 33. I have been trying for awhile now to find a conversion chart for metric to standard tire size and can't find one. what is the metric size for 35's then?

google "tire size calculator"

the top 3 links are great...I prefer this one Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing

This picture doesn't do it justice. All I can say so far is this tire was made for these trucks. If you are thinking about this tire, stop, and just get it!

It's dark, so I haven't really got a good look yet. I'll post better pics tomorrow. On the highway it isn't much louder at all than the original "baldini" BFG Rugged Trail and much better control and feel so far and fills the wheel wells nicely.


PS: These tires are 33.12x10.82. Taller than stock, but not any wider which is what I wanted. My stock tires were 275/65R18 or 32.07x10.82. Use the link that Tylus gave for comparison.

Sweet! You will love them! My buddy had a set on his dodge 2500 and they were some sick tires! I have the Destination A/T's because my budget is more limited and cant afford to be putting a new set on as often!

Lets see some pics!

Haven't got the bill yet, but should be 1000-1100 with alignment, taxes, disposal, etc.
