just my experience... see the wide strip of tire tread on the rear tire that isn't making contact with the ground? you're losing tread life. it takes a little more effort, but find the best pressure for running empty (lower the pressure progressively until the tread is flat on the ground) and only max out the air pressure when you are towing heavy. ride will be MUCH better empty although you may feel a little more sway with slightly lower pressure.

I run my 37s at 26-28 empty! They are 13.50" tires on 10" wheels. I got nearly 50k from my BFGs and I'd say I'm on track for the same with the Toyos. Good rotation schedule helps a lot, too.

What is the benefit of h2 wheels? Just the look? I am curious about buying rims and would like to find the lightest ones that look good and can handle what i use the truck for. I drive dayly and haul horses with gooseneck and living quarters sometimes. Haul firewood sometimes. Haul hay sometimes. You know the usual country boy stuff. I am looking for fuel mileage, so the lighter the better, less weight to turn.

I did the H2 wheels for two reasons...
1. My rims were rubbing on my steering linkage because I swapped to aluminum wheels from an 01 2500. H2 wheels eliminated the rubbing by being one inch larger in diameter.
2. They look neat.
