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 (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....

Thanks RW. Ferm,nice video. With the kind of power that Duramax puts out I figure you would be able to really roast those tires. I sat and held my truck in one spot for at least ten seconds before I let her go. It left a pile of shredded rubber on the pavement. I wish I had timed this tire change better. I would of signed up for a burn out contest at one of those import car shows or something. They have one every year when I go to waterfest. Its pretty funny.

Phat I am blonde, therefore it is sometimes necessary to spell it out 100%. I thought... and that was my first mistake.

I would like to know where Ferm got the deal on the Michelins. That is the exact tire I need for my D-max PU. Was this a brother-in-law deal or is my local dealer just killing me with his mark-up?
