Wish I could get one myself. Maybe someday.
That's the wheels mine came with since I didn't get the chrome package. I got the moonroof instead. I didn't feel the chrome wheels, mirror caps, tow hooks, and tube steps was worth the $1400. I was pleasantly surprized when I saw these wheels with the Michelin LTX at2 on there.

I would say so. That's 1400 bucks worth of aftermarket wheels and tires, at least!

Nice rig bcham5. Looks like you got the Michelin LTX's too. I know some have got the conti's on them and they suck. Maybe they only put them on the rigs that were going south where there is no snow(or usually no snow). I to am coming from an 08 F-150. Took a little to get use to the added size but now it is OK. I wish they hadn't put that dang "skid control" on there tho. I like to spin and slide sideways when I want. I know it can be turned off but I usually don't think about it at the time I want to do it. Good luck with the SD

Thanks Radioactive, i was glad they were the ltx's but they are horrible in the snow lol, the coopers go on tommorow (dont like getting rescued by the tow tractor ,that traction control worked against me when i was trying to gain momentum up that damn hill!) . Its a HUGE change from my f150 its way bigger ,likes to hop in 4x4 if its digging , but handles the rough roads better tho, and better mileage surprisingly

Yeah, I'll admit thier not the best but I'm use to driving on junk tires. I once had a 01 GMC 2500 HD with steeltex radials on there that were bald. I drove 2 winters on them. I don't do a lot off road or plowing tho. It's funny to that these are Michelin's "snow tire".I am hopeing to go to 35's in the near future if I can covince the wife. Not sure what I would go with, something conservative probably like BFG all terrains. I've heard good things about Goodyear Duratracs for moderate off-road. Not sure if they come in a 35" tho.

Good lookin' truck bcham5. Did you get the Ford mudflaps or are those aftermarket? I'm contemplating throwing a set on...

I think the Michelin's do pretty decent, but I was riding on 37" Toyo M/T's for a few years so compared to those, the Mich's are great.
