My pickup got new shoes

After nearly 50000 miles on the old BFG All Terrains it was finally time for new tires for my pickup.  Since getting my commuter Subaru I don't drive the pickup much and when I do it is usually on gravel and dirt roads so I decided to go with a mud terrain tire.  Picked the Nitto Trail Grappler because it comes in what I think is the perfect size for my stock height pickup, 285/75R18.  That and everybody and there dog around here as Toyo MT and I just have to be different!  The only down side is the the price of 18" tires, $330 apiece.  Ford didn't do us any favors by going to such large wheels, seriously thought about going down to 17" wheels which is as small as I could go and fit over the brakes.  Anyway I am happy with them so far they ride decent and aren't any more noisy then the All Terrains were.  Every thing I have read about them is they ware pretty well too so well see.

Sporting new shoes!

Ready for my closeup.
