Wondering if anyone has pics of....

some 245/75/17's on their dually? I just ordered some Michelin LTX AT2's for mine. I wanted some of those BFG KA2's, but need more that 20 to 30,000 miles out of a set of tires, my Michelin LTX MS have been great!, but there 235/80/17's and though I love the BFG's I'd rather get 60,000 plus out of my Michelins and buy a gun with the money I'd save not having to replace the BFG's in half that.

NITTO'S are good tires and I am not sure if they have them in that size. I have 265/75/R 17 10 plys that have been pretty good so far.

yeah Nitto's are good, but I've already ordered the Michelin 245/75/17's though. I got a set of Bushwacker pocket style fender flares today and having a spray on bed liner "speedliner" done to the bottom quarter panel within the next few weeks along with the fender flares and wondering how its gonna look... I think the black and silver's going to look tuff! Oh and my rims powder coated black and gonna run the Dodge caps.

Sounds like it will come out looking good. I am not much for black rims though. I like my mag wheels. Have you ever heard of that stuff you can put on chrome wheels or mag wheels to give them a gun metal look???? I am just looking for a 2" leveling kit and a tq converter and maybe a valve body for the tranny.

I've heard of that gun metal stuff, but not sure what its called... They have that Duplicolor stuff on TV all the time, "With duplicolor you can"... Anyway, with all the black and silver I'm going to have on my truck, I think the black powder coated rims will look good! I'm sick of the hub cap style wheels on the dirt roads out here... You know how the roads are, ecspecially roads like going out towards the Norris's and the Road from Reserve to snow lake and bear wallow is another prime example, washboarded and ruts! I'm slowly but surely making a heck of a mountain truck! You got duty tonight?

May I recommend air pressure? 70psi in the front.....40 for the rears. I've been running general ameritracs for a little over a million miles now, averaging 100k each set...towing 10k lbs. Rotate the s#!t out of 'em and they'll last. Thats a good lookin tire and size you chose, enjoy!
