They look good on your truck. I like the tread pattern. How's the ride so far?

The ride is really nice. I need an alignment for sure but thats to be expected. I really like the way they look. This is a daily driver that will see snow, but only a total of about 2 weeks a year. And I take a very short highway commute to and from work everyday, and they are great there too. they raised my vehicle height overall about .5 inches. 17/32 tread depth so they are very meaty. These are 8ply. As I stated above I got to test them out in a light snow/rain mix the day they were installed and I was very impressed.
On a side note my shocks felt like they needed upgrading before the new tires. Now they feel great. Body roll is less and the front end drop when braking has decreased too. Almost unnoticeable. Is it possible the old tires were that bad(because they were bad), or are these tires masking that the shocks are still bad?
And thank you for making me go white letters out! I love the look

Maybe the old tires were so old and soft they multiplied the bad effects of your worn shocks. And I think going whitewalls out was the way to go.

Well new shocks aren't too much. So it's a good reason to buy my "next" thing ;-)
