Limited Tire Options What Should I get?

No seriously I literally don’t understand the logic. Would it make you feel any better or worse if I had added the safety group and financed $1500 more and not get my 35's? And I guess I should’ve reiterated I don’t have balances on my credit cards. All you’re really saying is to finance less money. It’s the exact same thing as telling somebody they don’t need a level three via level two instead because you don’t wanna finance the extra 5000. I mean seriously correct me if I’m wrong I understand but if you take a credit card and buy tires that cost $2000 and make the minimum payment on them you still won’t have them paid off by the time they’re wore out I understand that logic. At the end of the day it’s still more money financed. I mean seriously correct me if I’m wrong ego has nothing to do with it.

And again I’ll make this argument you’re basically speaking the Dave Ramsey philosophy which is cool if you want to try and pay cash for everything or can for that matter. I'm sure you can and I admire you for that. I unfortunately cannot pay cash for my truck and choose to keep my bank account the way it is. My money my choices. Are they the smartest thing. Probably not but neither is paying 1.99 percent on a truck loan if you have cash in the bank either but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there every day doing it. A buddy of mine did just that. Wrote a check for his truck. I'd argue he should have financed it at a low rate and tossed the 50 k in a mutual fund to make money but his money his choice.
Finance less money is your argument and don't disagree with you there. I just asked for tire advice once again and I appreciate the folks that gave it to me.

For Pete's sake quit digging kid, you can see the round pointy straw hats already.

Sorry I'm not a kid. I'm just trying to understand the logic is all and was annoyed my thread got ruined by financial advice given that I did not want or need. Mostly ruined by me responding to it in the first place.

And that is pretty much exactly what you will be doing…which is what we are saying is a bad financial decision. You can finance a level 3 if you want…at least the truck will still have it 6 years down the road if you try to sell it.

I may have been the one who started the whole “bad financial decision” about the tires, and i apologize. I did not intend it to be such a big part of the thread. Sorry about that. Was just lending some insight on financial decisions to a fellow pw enthusiast. In the end it will not break you. Carry on.

I appreciate that and i seriously do get that financing tires for six years by themselves would be stupid. It’s really the best way for a 40 year old dad to get his instant gratification for his new toy. The kids would suck it up before you know it on pop its and suckers. It’ll be my last truck for a while as my daughters 8 and will be driving before you know it and my son is four years behind her. Gotta get it done right asap regardless of the cost. As quoted from Yellowstone……cheap **** ain’t cool and cool **** ain’t cheap.

Haaaaaa i get it. Im 40 myself, with a 12 yo boy and a 10 yo girl….they make money disappear FAST

Im ready for some new yellowstone!

First time I saw it was during deer season this year. watched the first two episodes of season 4 and I was hooked. Our hunting camp is on a 3.5 mile dead end road. we have awesome neighbors and I watched it with them. Everyone is pretty middle to right and only shoot nice deer. We all want to get truck decals that say silverstone ranch. Play on the township close to us.

THK, I get it. Married or not many women just don’t understand. They think: “You paid $70K for a truck and then you have to shell out $2700 for tires?” Then they start sharing the story with their girlfriends and they tell them that something is wrong with that and the entire mess gets blown out of proportion. You just want nicer bigger tires than the OEM with the least amount of grief!

I always wish my wife shared my interests but at the same time I’m not sure if I want her around my garage all the time either. Lol. Same thing as us asking them really?! You need another purse or shoes? Haha.

I learned years ago to not bother asking how many purses and shoes one person needs. Its simply not worth it lol

Exactly. But I still do sometimes. I can't help it. I think guys hobbies are more expensive but girls make up in quantity.

Sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

The only thing I was eluding to is our discount tire charges 18+ per cent to finance tires. Your interest rate on your truck should be a whole lot less. I did not mean to offend you but as a business owner, I look at what I can get and the cheapest interest to get it.

I wish you luck but put away your original tires and wheels so when you trade it, it is nice and shiny.

I'm actually giving the new ones to the dealer as I'm currently running aftermarket ones on my 18. They can have the stock stuff. I'll keep the aftermarket ones in the garage with my worn tires for when I trade this one in. I'll run the r/ts and methods on the new ride. Unless they want the aftermarket ones. I don't really care too much either way. I think I'd probably be able to get the same money for the fuels I'm running vs the stock power wagon ones where I live.

Careful what you post ....

because I want my current aftermarket ones........ and I can't give them a truck without tires and wheels. The mistake I did make however was selling the other OEM ones I had but I didn't have tires on them so I'd have to spend money on tires just to give them away. Don't want to offend the purists but 33's are a bit of a joke on our trucks and I"m not a huge fan of the OEM wheels. Now I like them in black but I wasn't going to spend the extra 595 and just let them sit in the garage. No way I'm not running the methods year round. Plus if I want to run a dedicated snow tire I can slap those on the Fuels and run them in the winter.

Here's what I'm currently running. They are the DDT fuel blitz wheels. I like the wheel but decided to get it in a 1 offset which I don't particularly love but they're worth more than the stock power wagon setup.

Smart left this discussion shortly after it started. You can't teach a Heinz Pickle that it is still just a cucumber dressed up. Don't waste your breath trying to help this OP, he has zero appreciation of good advice and is going to do exactly as he wants, despite asking for advice. He only cares about input that agrees with him.

For real? What might you suggest I do and why? I plan on keeping my truck for a minimum of 10 years and I'll never run the OEM set. So my options are to keep the new ones on my 22 and give them my Fuel wheels with tires that have 10000 on them or keep what I have and sell them for twice what I can get for the stock setup. Seems pretty logical to me. Agreed giving a brand new set of take offs seems nuts but the market for a set of OEM PW wheels and tires isn't a great one.

I kind of see your logic here. You dont like the wheels and wont use them anyway. So they will just sit there. And stock tires would be shot by the time you get them out to sell the truck from just sitting around in storage.

I just look at it differently because i like the stockers.
