GTK. I was hoping for tires that would last. Even if/when I go back to MTs, I'll put these on different rims for towing the VX behind the RV.

Tom did you "convert" yours like Travellin2 did so it can be towed?

IIRC those tires rank really really high on TireRack's user survery site.

Sue,

I bought the mod pieces from Travelin2. I haven't installed them yet. Hope to get to it this weekend. Still need to purchase the towbar & figure out the best mounting scheme. I'm starting to lean towards using the front hook mounting holes rather than going through the front cladding.

Awesome, lucky you! That was quite a set up!

Yup, I'm the luckiest man I know.

A few of his trinkets will take time to duplicate but I'll get there eventually. In particular, I'm thinking of the safety brake feature where the towed vehicle brakes are applied if it ever breaks loose from the tow vehicle. That's a must eventually but for now I'll just have to rely on safety chains.

BTW, those are gone now. They didn't hold up very well & were coming apart. I'm back to nekkid seats now.

My brother has those tires (in a slightly smaller size) on his Xterra and he loves them. Quiet on the highway and work well in the snow.

Looks good Tom! I swear your truck has to look the most toy-like of anyone here lol. I just want to grab it, pull it back and let it go!

I'll bet that's JUST what Boy wants to hear....

hahaha it sounded dirty didn't it haha. I like it though, nice proton.

[BeeVenom]

Whoa! Huge Treads, Sure stands Tall! You done Good!

Those tires look pretty good for ATs. Next time get 14.50 wide mud tires so they actually fit you wide arse rims

I have to agree with Jon. Those tires look too narrow for your rims. They just don't look as wide as the MTs, regardless of the size molded into the sidewall. Did you have to opportunity to measure the actual rim width, or look for manufacturer markings while you had the tires off?

[tom4bren]

Nope, but I still gotta order the spare (they only had 4 in stock). I'll try to remember to get the measurements during the process.
