New 35" Toyos with Bilsteins

Well, I finally got my new tires put on. I got 35x12.50x20 Toyo M/Ts on my 20x9 Black Rhino Keros with only 2" bilstein leveling shocks. I only had to trim the inside edge of my fender flare. After that was trimmed, no more rubbing. They fit perfect and the truck rides AWESOME!! There is barely any road noise from these tires - sure I can hear them a bit more than my old Falken Ziex, but the sound of my magnaflow is louder than the tires. To me, this is how a truck should look!!

I got these from Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD and couldn't be happier - top notch guys there. I would highly highly recommend them if you are in the Washington DC area.

Here are the pics:

Hope you guys enjoy.

Very nice and a refreshing difference than B4.

Are you surprised at how quite the Toyo's are, and how well they ride, all things considered?

Grubrunner - you were my "inspiration." Since we have the same color truck it was super easy for me to see how it would look with the tires.

I am super surprised at how quiet they are and how well they ride. I feel the big bumps in the road a bit more, but the smaller bumps I feel less. I guess the tires absorb the smaller bumps, but i can feel the weight of them more on the bigger bumps. I think my Bilsteins help keep the ride nice and solid though.

Thanks again Grub!
