got a delivery today
« on: May 06, 2010, 07:29:20 pm »
It appears when a big rig pulls up in front of your house it is easier to back your truck up and have the stuff dumped right into the bed then bringing it down off the truck. Sorry I didn't have the camera out when he was here but you have to trust me when I say my lowered tailgate of my truck is almost exactly the same height as the load surface of the the rig, that was pretty cool. The driver of the rig was suprised and thought I must have had like an 8" lift or something, lol...

Well here are the pics, I will probably try and get them installed tomorrow if I cannot get there today...

Is it just me, or do the new tires look less aggressive than the ones you have on right now?

They are nice though, especially the size!

Nick, they are supposed to look less aggressive, I was switching from a Mud Terrain tire to and All Terrain tire. I should se a slight MPG increase and less noise, the Nitto Mud Grapplers are known to be loud and if you check out my vids you will hear them over everything else, and when I started putting the windows down when the weather got nice they were really freeking annoying. They work great in snow and mud, but aren't the best street tire and when I know within the next 2 months I will be putting over 10K miles on the truck pulling a trailer I wanted a tire that was better for the street...

Wow what a difference a tire makes, the ride back was great, well after the bags of equal broke an ballanced the tires after the first 13 miles of the trip back. The truck acts differently it turn in better in turns at all speeds and much better at slow speeds, I don't have to fight the wheel as much now. These tires are almost perfectly quiet even at 70 MPH so that's great. And on top of that they feel so much better, normally with the old tires on at very low MPH's (1-5) it felt like I was riding on a cobblestone road, that feeling is gone but with that so is some of my stability while at a stop. Because the mud terains had such large voids in the tread, when the truck was stopped at a ligth I could just sit there with the truck in neutral and not holding the brakes and it wouldn't roll even on a slight incline, but I did the same thing I normally do while sitting at a light on the way home and the truck slowly rolled forward and almost hit the car in front of me...  :eek:

MPG's showed a 3+ MPG increase based on the lie-o-meter (I hit the reset button when I left the house then again when I left my buddies shop), out the 25 miles to his shop it read 13.9 on the display, when I got home it read 17.2, but that wasn't a real test since I did let it idle for about 5 minutes when I first got to his shop while unstrapping the tires and I didn't hit the reset until after the tires were changed and the truck driven into the bay and back, but it was pretty close to the same ride otherwise...  :up:

I miss my mud tires soooooo much. These all terrains are OK but they failed this winter :(

OK, so the baby was fussy when I went to my buddies place to get them mounted and I forgot to grab the camera, so no side by side pics like I wanted to get with one of each type mounted to a rim...

Here is how it sits now (yes, I know it needs a bath)...
