I finally got the work on why the Goodyear G164 tires were not avaliable. In addition to them being a brand new tire, Goodyear has bene on strike. However, if you talk with David and the dually stop, he knows a place that has 18 (now 12 because I just got 6! ), and could probably find even more if needed. He has been WONDERFUL to work with and that tire should be the best all around 22.5 there is. It is Mud and Snow rated, almost 11 1/2" wide, and has a really nice look to it.

I should have my new wheels and tires in by early next week so I can post pics. I won't have them on Optimus for some time, because the suspension has not yet been completed, let alone shipped or installed.

 

We all know that truck will never see off road so why do you think you need a of road tire. Lets face optimus ( satin's limo) is a highway queen.

 

Whilst he will likely never see REAL off-roading, he WILL be seeing more than 12" of snow on a regular basis in winter so he needs the SNOW part of the Mud & Snow rating!

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

You guys bicker like little old ladies...

 

Ya I understand I am just giving you a hard time, I personally have a straight up highway tread and they do great in the snow plus I don't have to listen to waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh why I driving down the highway I was so sick of that after my last truck I actually set them on fire while they were still on the truck.

 

HAHAHAHA! THat's funny! I know you were just giving me a hard time. One thing I really like about the Sumitomo's and what I have heard about these Goodyears is that they are very quiet. After my Nitto Mud Grapplers, anything is quieter!

I am going to strip in interior of the truck and tripple coat everything with QuietCar which will reduce my dB level by 15-20dB's so it will be quieter than any luxury sedan on the highway!

 

This is a good idea I am going to do the same thing and then I am going to have the entire truck armourd, ya know bullet proof.

 

Sweet!!! Go level 4 so that you can take on most surface to surface missle attacks! I know how those mormons get up in Utah!!!

 

maybe by the time i get the rims they will be easier to get.......

 

They definitely will be. You could get them now if you wanted from Dave.

 

Haaaaaaaaaa thats funny right there but remember they will be real nice to your face.

 

Oh yeah, it's when you are walking away that you here the beeping of WMDs arming themselves!

 

Its ok though beer scars them off every time.

 

That, and a "Star of David" emblem around your neck. It's like garlic to vampires!

 

Ya know we really need to talk.
