What a beast of a truck, congrats. Those 450's make my 350 cc lb srw feel inadequate. Lol

Glad to see you didn't just cut and run once your truck arrived, and such a beauty it is too.

Thanks, it is quite the beast. It is a massive step up from my other "truck" a '94 Toyota pickup.

I am glad I followed your lead Bronc71...it looks a lot better with the 245s.

I can't cut and run...you guys helped me a lot. I still have a LOT to learn about this truck. You guys have a ton of experience / knowledge.

Thank you

I love the way the 245's fill the wheel wells up more.

Regarding the 920's, did you give consideration to 608's? If so, what swayed you? I'm thinking of going with 608's all around in 245's but if you know something I don't I sure don't want to make a mistake!

No, I'm running those tires on american force wheels (6.75 in wide), identical style to stock though. The tires run nice and smooth on the hwy. I'm very happy with the set up, but looking back at it and seeing those that are running the 245 920s, I would probably have gone that route on the stock wheels and saved myself some $$.

I love the look of Brutus with its 285/70 Toyo 609. But went with the 920s for a more all season tire and based on the feedback about them here.

However, i do still have the stock Conti's ... and I am now thinking about getting another set of plain steel wheels for summer set and a winter set. Had I planned that originally I might have opted for the 608s
