Not Looking Forward To Tomorrow
I'll probably gain 10lbs of muscle tomorrow at least.
I have to privilege of dealing with two F150s with gigantic tires.
Anyways the main course is a set of four 35x12.50R20 Nitto Mud Grappler Extremes. Four mounted and balanced and I could buy my truck 5 times over haha.
Also got to balance one 35x12.50R16 and flip the other so blackwall is out. The truck those are on is high enough for you to fall out and injure yourself. I got a running start to get in it last time ha.
I remember when 31/10.50s sufficed. What happened?
The Nittos look good, wonder how they ride.

haha since when did people start considering 35" tires big? I mean yea that would be a cool mall crawling tire, with some minor off roading, but I would rather have some 44"s thrown under my expedition

I haven't been a truck guy that long, so yea, I consider them big, especially when I gotta pick the tire/rim combo up over and over haha.
37s are rare here, and 44s are unheard of. You'll see a caddy with 30in rims on it before you see an F150 with 44s.

It ain't an option when he's expecting to drive the truck home haha.
I'll try that though. I'll back the truck out on four flats and when he asks why I'll say "Made it easier for me to pick them thangs up."

I agree myself, 31x10.50-15 was big enough ... still have them on my '77.
Those big tall wide heavy things eat up fuel accelerating and are murder on brakes and suspension.

Well we did them. I say we cause we decided two people would be faster than one haha.
They...are...heavy. But it's done. Helium? We don't stock that sorry haha.
31x10.50 is the biggest I'll go. Good balance of both if you ask me.
