One comment.  If you offroad or use your truck as a truck, the low profile side walls will be problematic, IMHO.  I prefer a 70 or 75 profile to give me a higher sidewall capable of absorbing more shock and stress.  If you are strictly a street driver and don't run over really bumby stuff like very bad railroad crossings, you'll be fine, however.

A friend with a BMW with the low profile sidewalls went over a RR crossing and flatted two tires!  They were actually damagd beyond repair and cost him about $500 to replace.  He wrote to Norfolk and Southern and didn't they send him a check and an apology!  However, most instances of this will simply end up costing you money.

..

Low profile tires on tall wheels is the way to go but you need to buy a yellow suit and a fur coat to go with it. And don’t forget to wear a shower cap while driving down the street.

I judge a mans IQ by the profile number on his tires.

Opssssssssss mine's only 75...

Can you spell facetious?

 

Have a good one and see you later… Don S..

It would be nice if our members would add their vehicle information to their signature (similar to mine) plus add their City and State .

A member in the same town might be willing to drop by and help you with a problem. Or drink all your beer! One took my wife!... J/K
