Finally Got Some Big Wheels

[Jeff H]

I got some new tires this week. I got B. F. Goodrich All terain tires. I got 285/75 put on. Got them from Wal-mart. Price was not to bad either. Thank Ma for buying them cause she gets a 10 % discount since she works there. I did pay ma for the tires. I saved 71 dollars by getting that 10 % discount.

WOW what a differnce in ride now! With the combination of new shocks and tires. My 2500 ride better than a Cadilac.

Next on the list is mo power.

Well this Wal-Mart won't carry BFG KOs. But got 'em at Perfection Tire (non BFG dealer) for $709 out the door, including everything and lifetime rotations & 8% sales tax.



They ride better and look better than the stock Michelin A/S. Plus better traction when the snow flies. But they have a downside, they do not grip as well on dry pavement and have more sidewall flex than the stock Michelins. I can easily get the rearend weaving whereas the Michelins didn't do that. I run 50psi rear and 60psi front, load range D.

Vaughn,

I was having the same problem at first too. Ended up settling on 45psi rear and 55psi front.

Jeff, I have the same tires and I love them, great in all conditions with the prettiest white tire smoke you have ever seen!



I have found over 43K miles on mine that the best (even) wear is at 60 PSI front and 50 PSI rear.
