Well gang... I finally got bit by the the aluminum rim cracking problem. When in to try and have another set of 235/85 R16 tire put on them and the shop person called me back in the shop and 3 of my rims where cracked. So now I'm shopping for rim and tires again.. I already dropped my rims off with a friend to have them recycled and hopefully he remembers to drop some pics of it on the web...

But why get the LRG tires if you can't use the air pressure/tire rating? LRE's do what you need with a better ride. RAWR (aside from the legal mumbo-jumbo) is based on wheel/tire capactiy.

According to my trusted tire dealer at Big O Tires in Ontario, OR (Mike) he sold a long hauler a set of these tires and was get over 60K miles out of them easy. Being they are CHEAPER than a LRE I might was well jump for the life and lower price on the LRG... The LRE's where $976 just for what I had (Big O AT 235/85 R16)... Where the LRG where $680 and the wheels on top put right at $1100... So if I was with the LRE's then I would of be more like $1416 for them... So I came out a head for the most part...

:stuned: I suppose you could see the cracks with them mounted? I might have to crawl under the truck. I have umm overloaded the rear a couple times. I dont wanna have to get new wheels....but I was thinking of 3rd gen wheels with upgraded brakes. Cool wheels mike. Nothing too flashy but purposeful :thumb1:
