I de-badged the re-badged (pics)

I recently put my 3rd gen winter wheels on, once I did that I regularly had other truck owners trying to get a easy victory on my stock steel rimed truck, so I got to thinking why not put it back to as stock appearing as I could, so thats what I did, all new decals, cab lights, removed my tailgate spoiler, removed the yellow film from my driving lights, and one or two other lil things, Im actually not gonna run the dubs next year as I love how the truck runs, rides and handles with the stock rubber, It feels great and now I can see the benefit of all my after market front end parts, and another plus is my mileage is up about 2mpg:exactly: . Gotta go get some new Duelers next week, maybe a 285 but Im not sure yet.

Real nice lookin truck, I have a set of winter wheels like yours with 285's. I find them a little big but thats just me. I find that when you get in the snow or slush the tires really drag. I think a set of 235/85-16's would be great for snow but not so for looks. I will say though that with my new tires I hardly ever use 4x4.
Oops I forgot they are 17 inch wheels arn't they? Again though I think skinnier the better for snow cuttin..
