New tires!!!

[bigtruck94]

i just bought some Hankook Dynapro ATMs today! I'm impressed with them so far and I got them for a pretty decent price! I was gonna get treadwrights or goodyears, but I heard way better results with Hankooks. I only got 2 for the rear because I don't have the money yet for the front. Hopefully to get the other two soon!

They'll last you a couple years most likely. That's about the life I got out of them here. Be very careful if you go in any fields or trails where they have cut brush. The sharp stubs of the bushes will do a number on the sidewalls and turn them into scrap rubber really quick. Ask me how I know Hankooks have the worlds weakest sidewalls...... Every time I went off road the next stop was the tire store. Run Toyos now and will never look back.

Hankooks are nice for a cheap tire. They don't hold up as well in the long run though.

Very important, when you get the front tires put on get it aligned. An alignment costs $50 to $75, depending on where you are and who does it. The tires that it helps protect are what, $125 a piece?

I have a friend who has a set and he has had them for 30,000 miles and has half tread left. He also put them on his farm truck and he travels on to other towns for fairs and such. That's when i thought I should get them and got them for $137 each.

So? I have a set of BFGs with about 60,000 on them and I rarely rotate them. They are not chopped, and I still have 3 on the rear, 4 on the front. If I rotate them now I expect to be able to get 2 more years from them before they fail inspection.

I was almost thinking about BFG's, but I really wasn't wanting to spend 180 bucks a tire lol. I'm not going to keep the truck forever so I just went with some cheap good tires. Don't I take it to a ford dealership to get my alignment done or can it be done at other places?
