2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Very happy with 19.5s

[Brand-X]

I put the 19. 5s on this week they are 245/70/19. 5s and only 4. 08% off from my stock tires. I have 65 psi in the front and 55 in the rear. You can definitely feel the difference in the stiff side wall it hits the frost heaves a lot harder. I am not looking for mileage gains, not that I would mind. I will be heading down to Blairsville PA. tomorrow so I will get A good idea how they are on a trip... . George

I would think your setup would be the ultimate for heavy towing and hauling. Please keep us posted.

The photos I will take them as soon as my center caps and trim rings come in. I went with steel wheels got them used the tires are 190. 00 to 380. 00 depending on what you want and were you get them. I went this way to get the stability towing a gooseneck with my Fathers backhoe right at 18000 tractor and trailer. I would like a stick but the deal on this truck was good. The steering is different but not bad seems a little slow to react catches the ruts more but controllable not bad might be better with a good stabilizer? We went to Pittsburgh and back today and it seemed to improve alot or I am getting use to it... ... George
