Default New Tires

I had the Asanti's re-chromed and got them back a few weeks ago. The 285/35's rode like crap, so I got a tire with a bit more sidewall. Went with the Toyo ST-2 285/40's and they ride so much nicer. Not sure if it is because it is a better tire than the Sumitomo HTR or because it is thicker profile, or both. But I like them. They don't rub too bad, but I think I may lift the truck up an inch.

We'll see. These are crappy phone pics.

I think colormatching the front lower valence would look good, or doing a Z71 Tahoe swap up front. Wheels look really good now.

I was thinking about color matching the entire grille, bumper, pad, and valance. Just not sure if it would be too much burgundy.
