Tires fat and skinny tall and short

You live in airdrie where do you go wheeling lots of good places down there

I like the wand wash because I can get in under to wash crap that gets in my skids

 

[ThunderMug95]

I like wide…

 

[4xdad]

And no mud flaps lol I can imagine the mess it probably would blow the paint off

I do not like the look of mudflaps. I bought a 2 year old C5 vette in 2003 and some idiot put mud flaps on it. They went in the trash day 1.
My paint is currently pristine. I did think about some factory flares, that may happen.

Usually to McLean Creek. Ghost lake is fun when frozen over in winter. There's trail west of Waiporous that can get you close to the edge of Banff National park.

We went to the ghost pluz and Kakwa falls this last summer it was lots of fun lots of good wheeling in Alberta

That’s why you don’t get your truck dirty you ride your quad

I also like wide (and tall)

And it’s not like you can wash it in the driveway at -20c in your daisy dukes

That’s actually a very disturbing image.…..

I would like to go taller to but the trade offs aren’t really worth it on a daily driver imho I don’t live close enough to good wheeling make it worth it

Mine are 33.2x12.5 now and these tires will be replaced by end of summer as they wear down. When they get to 8/32 I will replace. Currently 12/32 at 66k.
The new tires will be same brand/model, just 35x12.5.

Yeah I feel that 35s are a good fit for these trucks you can run them on stock rims and only have to recal for speed and shift points no other changes needed

 

[4xdad]

That’s on a pw i don’t know about a 1500

 

[4xdad]

My buddy runs 33s on his 1500 sport his biggest problem is blowing up front cvs because he drive’s like a dipstick

1500’s need a bit of lift for 35’s, usually just a level…about 1/2 1500’s come with stock 33”, the ones with 20” wheels…4th gen at least.

The missus wants to know is taking pictures of my butt and not sharing

35's look cool but don't fit in the stock spare tire location and also require a wider wheel offset to clear the upper control arms, which pushes out the scrub radius out and makes the truck more susceptible to getting pushed around by road crown and ruts.
I'm not out picking up cute guys so cosmetic appearance is the lowest priority for me, it's gotta work first and ~33" does what I need it to do.

Haha. I dumped on 37s but I didnt do it for men or women. I did it for me. To each their own. I don't really care what others think, I love mine.
