Thanks the 4th one showed up today, and I dropped them off to get mounted and balanced.

They are the same height un mounted as my old tires were mounted and at 40psi...

Got the new tires on the truck, definitely like the way it looks, and they fit with a little room to spare.

Whats up NC!
Nothing but sever storms heading here for the next few day's, and more flooding that we haven't dried out from the last rain a few day's ago, not to mention a few tornadoes.
But yesterday was a blast, literally.
I was asked to help put on a display for a local elementary school here in Lexington. When they told me what we'd be doing, I had to say yes. We had a cannon from 1862 set up by the battlefield (Battle of Lexington) and I had the boring job. All I did was fire that cannon about 20 times over a 6 hour day.

Couple things I've noticed with the new tires.... My truck actually rides damn good, and my exhaust sounds good at 65. First time I've noticed that in over 2 years that I had my old tires....

And looking at the new tires you wouldn't think it, but they're actually pretty quiet.

tread pattern and composition makes a big difference in their noise... also some start out quiet but get noisier as they wear down...

Bob, Sounds like you had a fun day.

Larry, those tires look like the edge is going to cup pretty quickly. I'd expect them to get noisy real fast.

Welcome to Monday every body. The weekend wasn't nearly long enough.

Everyone I've talked to said they wear good, and don't get to bad aslong as you rotate them properly. I guess we will see.
