Deleting threads isn't possible, just clearing the info is.

We have a slight wind and about mid 70's here. Can't wait for the rain to start.

Never too early

A little early...Yes, but I love the looks of these OEM wheels and tires on my truck. Tires are Firestone A/T's Lt265/70/17 "C" load rated.

Stiff enough to handle a pretty good load yet not so rigid they shake your teeth out of your head when you're not loaded.

Alright already!!! I know we're not gonna get mcuh snow in the next month or two, I was just ready for a change and had time on my hands today.

If ya'll only knew how many different wheel/tire combinations this truck has had on it you might think I am a little OCD. I'll never tell how many sets I still currently have hidden in the barn!!!

One thing we don't have to worry about down here is winter tires. I run hurricane tires year round!

Example of OCD at it's very worst.

Not sure if any of these would be good for hurricane season.

East of Marietta, Ok. Marietta is about 15 miles north of Red River off of I-35.

Broken Arrow huh? Ain't that where the upper-crust live? I'm actually in and around the OKC area frequently. I have a sister who lives in Norman, Ok.

I go through Louisiana frequently also on my way to Mississippi. My wife is originally for Miss.

Sundevil...you and Sherrif Arpaio don't ever have to worry about winter tires. It's 100+ in the dead of winter there isn't it???

Duh, I just googled Broken Arrow and figured out it's close to Tulsa not Oklahoma City. I knew that. Heck I've been there several times but it was years back. I was close though...it's a ritzy suburb near some big Oklahoma town.
