New Shoes!

Love the look. My 250 just fits under the garage door now. I think if I put those on I wouldn't be able to get into the garage anymore.

Those are purdy Rod. I'm sure you checked, but let us know if there's any clearance issues with the 5th wheel.

I need to move my kingpin up a couple of notches and if needed will install a 1 or 2 inch blocks on the fiver for added clearance.

Got them installed. I didn't install the center caps as I have to retorque the lugs after 100 miles.

I'm an old fart and like to see a chrome wheel vs all these newer blacked out wheels. I guess it dates me back to my high school days in the 60's. Nice looking shoes.

Why did you go a 35" x 12" in a AT tread? Does it have the lower tire pressure ( 65 psi?) Most tires in that size are MT tread patterns vs the All terrain tread pattern.

My nephew will give me his cost on a set of his tires, But they only come in 35x12 MT an not in the metric 295x65R20 in a AT tread. I'm just not sure I want to run MT tires and give up the load capacity, even at a great deal. I keep hoping he will start to carry a A/T tire in his line up.

I guess I should run my loaded rig across a scale and see what my actual real axle weighs in at with the load of horses hooked up. Then I'd know if the MT could handle the loads I haul.

Jon - If I had your connection, I would probably try out a set and see. Although you tow a lot and I don't...

I wanted an AT tire with the lowest PSI while still providing the load capacity I need. Plus AT tire's are typically quieter than MT's and I'm just too plain old to want to listen to that kind of noise.
