New Tires!

Got some new radial swampers in the 38x15.50x16.5 variety and new wheels.

Here's a pic.



There's a couple more in my gallery.

Looks good

Are those 16.5X9.75 Eagles??
Do the tires rub on the leaf springs at all at full lock?

rrmike, Your truck just keeps getting better looking with each mod!
How are the swampers on the highway for handling and noise? I have been debating on different tires and those are one of my choice's!

Keep up the great work,

DC, Yes they rub on the leaf springs but not as bad as the skinny tires did They are 16.5x9.75 Eagles.

Streetcruzer, I love them on the highway compared to the bias ply 38's that I had before. They aren't perfect but for a tire this size I am really happy with them. The truck rides and drives much nicer.

I missed the question about noise. They are still noticeable but again not nearly like the bias tires. Those would make your feet numb from the floor boards vibrating.
