Got 4 tires mounted & put on today. Also cranked spare tire down & had my buddy take off the 16 year old spare & mount on the best out of the 4 old tires. I definitely went with 265/70R17's. So the spare that was on it was a 275/70R17, so now at least the spare is a matching size.
I tell ya, its super nice to have a friend that's a mechanic. He saved me tons. I bought the tires from tirerack.com, & my friend mounted, balanced, new stems & put them on. Also found I needed a outer tie rod end & he aligned it for free. I bought outer tie rod & the tires. Good deal. And I told him to put the tires in the bed & I'd take care of them at the dump. He got rid of them. Well, nothing is really free, cause I'll be buying him a couple 30 packs anyway.
The old 03 rides like a dream.
