Mine is beginning to fde a little, with the cooler weather. Growth has slowed a lot.

The Toyo tires are great on wet pavement. Really liking these things! The Falkens were so bad, the difference in handling, and ride is amazing.

Toyo Proxes ST II. They ar a highway tire. Really handle as good as my Michelins and cost substantially less. They are a mid price I guess. Now, remains to be seen how long they last. They look good, ride very smooth, and handle very well, even in the rain.

The tread pattern looks like flames. I swear my truck is 13 mph faster!

Thanks. He spent a week doing chemo for low red blood cells and then got hit with kidney stones so bad they did surgery last night. He is tough as nails, but he is 78. He is going to be really pissed that he has to tell everyone that the stones put him on his back.

Next time you need tires, you might want to check out T & W Tire. They charged me the same price as Discount Tire, plus they do alignments. They do the same lifetime balance and rotation and encouraged me to bring them in at least every 5,000 miles. They said the more often the better with the wide tires. I liked it as I could stay with the truck and see every thing they did. And, there was no wait, did not have to stand in line.
