Default new tires

just got some new tires on my truck, upgraded to Toyo proxus STII 285/60r17's, which was a much needed upgrade over the 265's.

I usually hate trucks the color of yours, but yours is lookin' fresh. I think if you painted the honeycomb in your grille black, it would look amazing. Not a bad video, either. I'd LOVE to have a 5-speed.

oh i love the tires, they grip so much better then the old ones i had, i threw the truck around a corner that before it could barely hold 50, and today i did it at 65 that is worth it to me

thanks man, i wasn't to much of a fan of the color at first, but the matching was worth a shot and im happy with how it turned out. im too lazy to paint the honey comb part lol.

manual trans is the best part about the truck, so much fun to drive lol
