Yeah. It was great with my wheels and tires. It is downright scary with his.

Empty, towing, or both?

I'll have to work with my vendor to get them replaced.

I didn't drive it empty, just with the trailer. It definitely wandered where it wanted to.

Good you guys got it narrowed down to the tires. How was the fit with your wheels and tires on the grandpa truck?

The fronts rubbed on the spring if you turned pretty sharp. I don't think anything smaller than 20s would have work either. I think a smaller wheel would have hit the tie rod ends.

Good morning Jim, Chris and the rest of the gang stopping by!

Have a Thirsty Thursday everyone!

Sounds like you figured out Jay's issue with his truck. Hopefully Dave's tire vendor will stand behind them and replace them.

The tires I have are definitely louder than what Jay has. Haha.

Good morning guys.

Yeah, what a difference between having his tires on and mine.

Dave, let me know if they want to drive the truck. Even empty it feels "squishy" in Chris' words. Ask Chris about the steering wheel wobble one time.

Call me if you want to discuss further Dave.

Pimpin Jay's truck Chris? I like it. Good thing you guys figured it out before the camping season really got going.

Those wheels make that truck look MUCH sharper, Jay... not *quite* as old man-ish.

Morning Guys!

It is an old man truck so I will stick with the stock look.
