The tires look great! I'm not a fan of flares, I don't think they look right unless a truck is huuuge with wide wide tires. But do what YOU want....not what we all say, you know what you like more then we do!

Thats a sweet looking truck you have there. My truck is the same color and those tires would look good on my truck as well. I do have a questions about what PSI to run in a tire, do you run whats on the door panel or on the tire? That could also determen how much you can load them down right?

The psi you put in a tire is all dependant on what you use the truck for.
I run 40 psi all around on my truck and i have 8 ply tires. I dont do anyhauling or heavy towing, and when I do, then I bump it up.

well i'm late to this, but for Ron or anyone else looking for the nittos. you can get them in a 305 E rated. by brother-in-law just put some on his duramax. not too many sizes above that E rated though.

Scott, you have a black trim theme to your truck as well. The good thing about that is you won't need to do a thing to them aside from slapping them on the way they come. I got mine because I was tired of gravel being slung down the side of my truck when I went hunting. Those and mud flaps, problem solved. Keeps the truck a lot cleaner too.

I have the 265 75 16 yet and I run 60psi in front and 70 in rear since I tow a camper loaded with fire wood. Plus thats what it says on the door and on the tire itself it says 80 psi. Now do I bump it up to 80 in the rear and 70 in front or is that to much when loaded? It does feel kinda squarly at times.

Thanks, Kris. It was the look of your truck, the look of a used one here on the Ford lot and that E load range that sold me on the Toyos. So far I am very happy with them.

BTW, nice aggrssive looking tires.
I went more on road and quiet ride with the GY Silent Armors. They ride sooo much better than that other tire that is in my pic.

Toyos are good tires......I've ran 38s and 40s on my 01.
I looked at them for my 07 (33/12.50R18) but they were only rated at 2910lbs per tire in that size. So I ended up with 325/60R18s (GY SA Pro Grade) rated at 3525, load range E.
