Replaced the rear dually tires Friday
Replaced the rear dually tires Friday, now I'm complete with fresh rubber all the way around.
I really liked the way that the two front replacement Coopers HTP tires handled and felt on the front. And with the current price Discount Tire is running plus a $50 rebate it only made sense to do the deed before winter months set in. After all they say it's going to be a colder and wetter winter here in Texas.
Total cost for all 6 tires mounted, balanced, taxes out the door was just under $902. Dam these dually truck come with some cost....LOL!!! Of course if I deduct the $50 rebate it comes to $852. And then considering I used my Rancho rebate Visa card for another $106 of the purchase my cost is not only $746. Yeah, now I'm feeling better about the whole tire deal.
Unless I add in that windshield I had to replace on my truck Tuesday for $211.47.
Sure am glad I like this truck.

Been there, done that, chose not to do it again......LOL Had a very nice Canadian fly down to Texas with a cashiers check in hand. Picked him up at DFW Airport, we signed some papers and I gave him directions out of town.

Technically they should. They are 14-19 ply tires. I've heard many say they can run for 100k easily. Not sure I'll ever know though.

Thing I didn't care for was trying to find a place that could mount and or balance the 19.5 tires and wheels.
I ended up purchasing Centramatic Balancing rings for both my F450 and F550 trucks. They were well worth the money.

Wear indicators, who da thunk.
Yes, I am joking. But, it would probably be surprising how many drivers out on the road have no idea as to their real purpose.

Must be 20" tires at that price. . . I know that drill from my 2006 days.
