Default New tires for the DD

the original tires (generals) were getting pretty bad at 42k miles.

the old were 245/70/17, traded for some Michilen LTX MS2 265/70/17.

ride difference is amazing. the little reflectors on the highway used to rattle the whole truck, now i can barely notice them.

i did'nt know they had re done the ltx ms but now has more grip and a better tread life, was 60k mile warranty now its for 75k. the last set i had lasted about 80 something thousand miles. so i should be set till 100k miles plus, and i'd better be for $1012!
