LOL! I just put a pair of On-Road only Michelins. They ARE as aggressive as a church mouse after all.. But it don't matter none. With Ferman's help the Duramax will surely machine these off in due time..
Them look good on there ssired

Tires have gotten outrageous. Cost me a grand to put my new 285 cooper on the tahoe. And I went a cheaper route. Its gotten crazy. It aint hard to drop 12to1500 on a set.
