Q: and to be a further smart ass... ya know that index wasnt exactly hard to use. if you dislike the amount of effort in using that index perhaps you should just drive your truck over to me and ill makes sure its treated well while i save you the effort of driving it. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author a number of tires all medium duty. i suggest these as itll give a bit of lift and they will last longer. noted tires are links with particularly agressive tires. https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog i like this one looks like it would run on a dually fairly easy https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog another that looks like it would run in duals https//www.bfentirenet.com/productcatalogs/trucktires/apptask=trucktirespc&subtask=ttframe&ctry=usa&language=enus&target=catalog all of these are the same link. the link you quoted doesnt go to individual tires just the main menu. which tires on the menu are you recommending http//www.conti-online.com/generator/www/us/en/continental/transport/themes/tires/offroad/hdotirepageen.html looks promising until you download the manual. available in 42 and 44 tires only. http//www.conti-online.com/generator/www/us/en/continental/transport/themes/tires/construction/htctirepageen.html 42 44 and 45 only. http//www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/productguide/newprod/tireoverview.jsptread=xzl+%28wb%29 44 and 46 very agressive http//www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/productguide/newprod/tireoverview.jsptread=xzl http//www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/productguide/newprod/tireoverview.jsptread=xs more of the same from 44 to 54. .........so im right back where i started with no apparent options. any suggestions thanks -- nathan w. collier http//utilityoffroad.com http//7slotgrille.com http//inlinediesel.com http//bighornrefrigeration.com http//concealedcarryforum.com .
