I know it's not a dodge. This is my version of a first gen truck.

I'm still on the fence about which direction these tires look better... You and I have them the same way with the "V" in the middle looking like it is directional. But the side lugs all look like they're going backwards... Now picture the four rows of lugs and group them two by two and look at the direction... I know the middle looks like it would be going backwards but this way there are two sets of forward looking lugs!
