New tires!

I'm getting new tires on Monday. I'll post pics when I have them on.
I'm getting 35/12.50 Procomp Xtreme All Terrains this go around.
Let me hear the good and bad about them.

Good: ProComp makes a great product.

Bad: Add a spacer so you can buy 37's before it's too late.

Really Don't have the money for 37's (unemployment sucks). I would also need gears then. 3.55 gears with 35's is bad enough and 3.55 with 37's would be a dog.

Here is a couple pics.



The truck is a little dirty, It is about to storm so I didn't wash it.
The only problem so far is that they rub a little when backing up with the wheels turned an inch from full lock. My old BFG's Never rubbed at all. The Procomp website says these are 34.9" and I thought the BFG's were 34.9" also. I guess I will be trimming the corners off the front valance.
On the way home I stoped and pulled a 2wd s-10 out of a ditch, not to bad a little mud on them at 100 miles. It was about a 2.5 hour drive on them with most of it at 70+ mph. My old bfg's were a little louder but not much, these have hardly any road noise. I guess I will rotate these more often then I did my BFG's.

Looks good!

I really like lifted regular cabs.
Makes me want to just keep my '91 to lift it.

Just round off the corner just a little.

I hope you remembered that your dog was tied to your nerf bar!
