Default New Toyo's for the Esky wheels

I finally got around to putting the new Toyo's on. I must admit, they ride nice. They are a bit taller than my last set of 17's, which looked too short IMO. These are 275/60/17's. Compared to the 20's, they ride WAY better, stop better, accelerate faster, and handle a ton better. I doubt I'll ever put the 20's back on. They don't look as nice as the Bling-bling did, but I'll get over that. What do you think?

They look great...

I also have 275/60/17's on my truck... I'm very happy with that tire size.

I'd like to get a new(er) truck, but honestly, not sure if I can swing the cash right now. I'm really not all that excited about the new '07 body style, but wouldn't buy a brand new "classic" either. I really wouldn't mind an '03-up SS truck, which is waaaaaay more affordable than a new truck. For now I'm gonna keep rollin' on with this, until something really strikes me. I overspent big time on my house project last year, which is the bottom line. I won't be putting a ton more money in this truck tho, at least that's my plan "today"

Thanks! I'm really likin' the factory 17's a lot lately. I like the Denali wheels on your truck, and the factory Silverado wheels on TXSilverado's truck. I'm just losing interest in the big chrome wheels......right now anyway. I'm sure everyone knows, I change my mind more than my underwear...but for now I'm lovin' the look!

Thats the size I should of gone with, they look just right. I went 275/55/17s and I find they are a little short for my taste.
