Thanks.

Not that your sig bothers me, but if you want to make it smaller, here's how.

1) Google Microsoft Image Resizer PowerToy
2) Download and Install
3) Make sure the picture is on your computer, not just online.
4) Right Click the picture and click, Resize Picture
5) Click Small, Medium, or Custom until you get what you like

It will just rename the new picture so the original picture will stay the same.
Let me know if you have any problems

My favorite tire is the Michelin LTX L/S. Only thing I have bought in last several years for 3 vehicles. Especially good in wet weather and on the highway.

How much better would a BFG be then say the Pro Comp Xtreme all terrains. In wet weather is there going to be alot of traction loss in corners and hydroplaning? What is the handling difference that makes them so much better?

I had a set of good year wranglet MTR's and I had a 25,000 miles on them when I sold my truck and I know i could have got another 10 to 15000 out of them. Now i got some BFG AL KO and you can not go wrong with them they are a great tire, I would suggest either one, hope this helps

i have seriously thought about the bfg all terrains, and to tell you the truth i like the way they look and also what everybody has to say about them, but i just wanted something a little bit different. at least here where i am from you just dont see to many terra grapplers, that doesnt mean they arent out there. HMMM maybe that is telling me something right there. but people have also been saying good things about them as well. maybe i will just quit being a chicken and buy them. also i kinda like the idea of 295's instead of 285's

It was a tough choice between the TG's and the BFG's; price was the tie breaker. I have had the Nitto's for a little over 2 months now and love them. They are great in the rain, off road and not to loud at all. I always rotate at every oil change so wear should not be a problem. The TG's ran about $50 less a tire-that is big difference if you ask me. Good luck in your choice, either one of these two tires and you can't go wrong.

Another way - With most photo programs nowadays you have an email picture option - Hit that within the program it will usually ask you what size (small, medium or large) . Pic one , then the progam goes directly to compose in email. Drag your pic to the desktop and import from there..When I use a MAC -iphoto, photoboth are great apps and they work. On a PC I'll use Picaso2 (A free google app) because of it's speed.

well i guess i should have tried to find out what local tire stores had in stock before determining what tire i wanted. after an all day search nowhere around here even carries nittos. they all say that toyos are a better tire and that is what they carry. one shop actually told me that toyo makes nitto tires as a lower priced/lower quality tire. now what? should i go with the toyos?
