last use of old tires

I had a new set of tires installed on the truck today. Before I dropped it off I took a few pics. If you look closely in the first pick my V is in the background.

Nice one.. Fresh meats in the back, off to make the switch...Have you priced a set of Michelins lately? 265 75/16 x4 is just south of $1000 bucks after tax. I am running a pair til I see the chord. Why is it always the rear ones that wear out first??

My old tires were Goodyear silent armor 305-70-16(33"x12.5"). They were getting pretty thin. I was due for inspection last month. I ended up getting a set of Nitto terra grapplers on Ebay. They are new and cost $730 with free shipping. The local shop charged $100 to mount and balance then they also inspected it. I'm good to go. No more burn outs for a while. You guys should see the parking lot at my marina....It looks like a bleach box at a drag strip

Good deal, I bought Blemished Michelins LTX in 2003 for the wife's Tahoe. It was around $750 mounted & balanced. No such deal today.

I saw Pete's pics but none on your post, besides your avitar.

I just bought a set of MICHELIN LTX/MS2's for $865 mounted and balnced in a 10 ply load range E LT265/75/16 and got the $60 rebate comin in the mail now. Should have gone for video though, here's my BURB before it got fresh meats.

I can hear a Jeff Foxworthy joke right now....If you smoke your old tires right before buying your new ones and take pictures for your buddies to see.....

And you southern boys thought you had the market on rednecks cornered:fam: (the second pic is the coolest)

the rear goes first because they are the ones that smoke the most
bad joke, but it was 1:30 in they morning....
