Tires showed up today

ordered them over the weekend, got a shipping notice yesterday and got a call from my roomate to tell me they had showed up today! They are an inch taller and a inch and a half wider than what i have now. They are General Grabber AT2 305/70/16. they were $100 cheaper than my 265/75/16 Bfg AT's. So if anybody wants my old bfg's pm me or i might just put them up in the classifieds. on to the pics

so i dropped my truck off at Big O tires(only tire store locally) the guy, who looked like the owner, came out and looked at my truck. he wasnt sure that even with trimming the plastic that the tires would fit...so hes going to test fit one on the front and let me know.

ok, got them mounted today, guy didnt think they would fit at Big O...all it required was a little more trimming of the valance, the tires finally work with the lift, i think their the perfect size...on to the pics

3 are great, probably 45-50k left on them, one has the leading edge of the tread a little messed up but absoltely no problem other wise...considering they retail for like 170ish a tire i was thinking 400 for all of them

If he thought that was close then he wouldnt have like mounting my 36's and probably wouldnt have done it!

But it looks good. I still think you should black out the rest of the chrome a gray on the grill/bumper!

thanks for the compliments guys, i love how it looks now, just gota take her off road and test it out...

trimble...ive toyed with the idea, personally i think a little chrome can be good. if someone could photoshop it i might consider it more....
