Glad you like the Hankooks...you're right, a new set of tires does make your truck feel new again

The Toyo's were the same size...Traction is good as I can expect, I am able to give it a little more fuel than I was able to with the Toyos but they only had 1/16th" of tread left They definitely "bark" louder than the Toyos

I'll get some pics up in a day or so.

How's the smoothness at highway speeds? Any shake?

no shake. Incredibly smooth, and quiet. They handle the turns good too

I had the same tire....felt sticky for a while, but then fell short in performance especially wet conditions.

the toyos were like that...wonder if the compound is just like that for good wear resistance?
