Just want to get some centercaps to complete the deal :D

Those are going to look real nice. I love my LX450 wheels they just look like they were made for the 3rd gen runner. Let's get those things on there so we can see some pics.

Look Good Ric!!! It may be a stupid question but whay type of tires are those?

[bigwapitijohnny]

Rocko,

I believe that they are the Firestone Destination MTs...I've looked those up on Tirerack, and they are the #1 MT tire :thumbup:. Ric, how do those things do on the wet pavement? Do they hydroplane much? I deciding on those or some ATs. Let me know.

Regards,

BWJ

ADH8796,
If a buddy doesnt want my old tires (they still have quite a few miles left in them) then Ill run the old one for awhile.

04 Rocko Taco,
Johnny is correct Firestone Dest. MTs

bigwapitijohnny,
These have handled awesome, rain, snow, ice, rocks, dont matter, these so far are the best MTs Ive had I really love these, thats why I got another set, BUT I did have them sipped, so that helped alot Im sure. :thumbup:

[bigwapitijohnny]

Tell me about siping? Where did you get them and how much extra was this process?

Regards,

BWJ

John,
sipping the tires is basically just cutting lines into the tread, making better traction,
You could do it yourself, if you got an extra day, lol heres a link http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/TireSiping.shtml
Heres another link http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tireSiping.dos


as to where to get tires sipped: http://www.sipers.com/sipers/zipsearch.html or ya can called your local tire shop, and ask if they do it.

Those really look great!!! They are "stones?" I didn't realize that Firestone was trying to make it back into the SUV market, after that fiasco with Ford.

What load range are they? TJ

[Ric]

load range is 3305 lbs.

TJ, Likely these are load range D, since they are 16" rim tires.
