    Question Truck tires (265/70/16)

    I need new ones and don't want to spend a fortune on them since I don't drive the truck much. Any recommendations?

    Dry rot cracking between the treads. They are probably 7-8 years old. Not good!

    Go to North Texas Factory Take-Off
    800 W Hurst Blvd
    Hurst, TX 76053
    817-589-8874

    My last 2 lease vehicles got tires from these guys they always came in with TCB prices, they get the dealers new OEM wheels when the dealer puts 22's on a Tahoe.

    Side Note! Get the wife to give you cash, they like cash.

    I'm a real big fan of the Michelin LTX M/S's... good long tread life and they've not been plagued with the delamination issues of some other brands.

    Can I get tires only, or are they selling tire/wheel packages?

    That's what I have now. They have been good tires for sure and held up well. I bought them when my truck was my primary vehicle.

    Pirelli Scorpion STR/A They even come in an E load range for us heavy b*#%$@&s. They run about $60 less per tire then the Michellins. Tread life and traction are comparable to the Michellins as well. I have about 30K on the set on my truck.

    Sorry, I have a set on '61 Chevy that are brand new, but have been sitting for 5 years during rebuild. They are toast. I would just give 'em to ya but I don't even trust them anymore. They have not seen the sun for that long, but have had the weight of the chassis and body on 'em for two years now. Definately out of round.
