Since i couldnt find any more 275/60/16 Toyo Proxes STs (discontinued), i bought the tahoe 17s and went with a 275/60/17 Falken on the front and a 285/60/17 Falken on the rear..
They were mounted and balanced today, goin on the truck friday. Ill get pics asap.

How much are the 275 Falkens? I killed my two back tires last night.

haha, its all stock parts..

i couldnt find any Toyos anywhere, i looked at the Toyo Proxes STIIs but 740 shipped just for 4... eh, yea right.
bought the 17s, and tires for about that much.

and its impossible to find a decent size tire that i wanted in a 16" rim.

the new proxes look like ****. And if they do perform any better it's probably only marginal....these things work great. I'm pretty sure they redid the proxes just so they could sell some more or up the price. The older ones came out in 98.
