    See, your subconscious said, "bigger is better!" If you do the 2" leveling kit, it'll look great!

    Good news! Tires fit with no rubbing when turned all the way. :thumbs: And I think they make it look much better!

    Loving them already over the old “tractor” tread I had on! Quiet smooth and handle nice, but it looks like a while to test them in the snow.
    Hint hint top right corner of the back window :cool:

    I love Discount tire direct. I have ordered a few sets from them. I got one size taller sidewall for the sequoia to try and fill the well more and to carry more weight thinking they would last longer . Well I looked when they got here, did measurements and the Half lock is too close to fit the extra half inch or so of the tire I felt so I called to send them back. They said sure no problem and have the correct ones set up to ship when I return those. Now that's customer service.

    Also on ebay at the end of October they were doing $100 off a set and most manufacturer are giving a rebate this time a year. I know yokohama was but they rebate period may have lapsed. I think it would of been about $70 on those tires. So that set ordered off ebay from discount tire direct end of October would of been $170 ish cheaper.
