I got some new tires too.

Firestone Indy 500's in the 255/70-16 size.
Seem quieter than the generals that they replaced and I'm liking them so far.

Hope you like your new tires too.

I just got this same tire. So far I like em'. They're great in the rain and even worked well in the winter weather we're getting. My only complain is they seem to flex more than I like in a turn. They ride great and give good traction though. I'm real happy with em' though, especially for the price.

What were these 295's mounted on? If you could state width and backspace (or offset), please.

Are you lowered or at stock height?

Thanks
