Default New Rubber on my T

Hi all, well I finally sprung for some new skins for my H3t. Went with the Goodyear Dura-Tracs 315/75/16's. Price was right so I had to do it. I had 35's on my old H3 and my T just didnt look right without em. Kinda looked like a Oreo cookie on rims. So far so good, slight rub at full lock, no biggie. Got the truck aligned today after a 4 1/2 T-bar adjustment. It was off quite a bit, Toe and caster, camber. I didnt think that much adjustment would throw it off that much. But its true now.. Well here's a few pics, hope you enjoy,,

Looks Great! So the spare fits right under the bed still? I was looking at this size and then other things came up. Again, looks awesome.

Cool

Thanks fellas, Had em on for a few days now. Great look. Alot of big tire envy looks cruzin around now. Milage has fer sure dropped now, and really feeling those factory, base model shocks alot more. Im looking to replace the shocks asap and possibly a computer chip upgrade. I can see me pulling my camper now. Arrughhhh. Im going to post a new thread on shock and computer chip upgrades for the H3T. Seems like all Ive read has to pretty much deal with the H3. Thanks for the kudo's

I got the tires at Sears,, $219 apiece. Pretty good deal when you see whats out there price wise. Rolled in to there shop the day they came in and had them mounted for about $22 a pop. Very nice tire, super quiet on the road. Nothing better than seeing them sitting on the floor dwarfing the other tires. Felt like a kid in a candy store when I first saw them...

I got my Duratracs at Sears too. They will price match any competitor, even Tire Rack, and they have great service and warranty.

T looks good!

Can you put those tires on an H3t that hasn't had the torsions turned?
