Slicks so you can come have some fun at the track with me. Why a 16" rim now did you sell the big brake kit?

You won't want a radial. Being a truck it will be VERY hard to hook. No real reason to go with a full slick. Also you don't need to tube the tube type tire. Almost no one does because you don't need to. Just giving you a heads up to say you money and not to buy tubes.

cody...the grille is painted WT grille with black powercoat street scene insert.

2500...im leaning towards the full slick hoosier. not a bad price and i can get a pair of aluminum 16x8 to 16x10 wheels for less than $100 a wheel. found 4 16x8 ultras on craigslist for $300
