Sorry about that. The BF's get greasy real quick after twenty minutes on
the tires. Toyo are a better tire for that NASTRUCK driver for that mean
Dodge driving. He He

The guy was correct on his facts. I run the Goodyear (trying to wear out
the tire to get them replace) and BF's and Toyo is half the cost and better
traction control.

The dakota is getting 18x8.5 Elite La Jollas and 275/35/18s on the back and
245/40/18s on the front. Has anyone ever experience Toyo tires before? The

guy said they are a very ruputable tire and will wear better (last longer)
than the Goodyear F1 GS 275/40/18s that I was ABOUT to get. anyways. I was

in luck on these tires because I got them used with about 99.9% thread left
on them. It still has those little spikes that comes on new tires.

Anyways. I'm just looking for comments and opinions about the tires and
maybe
the "35" series tires, am I going to bend my rims? Extra precautions
needed
to ensure my rims don't get bent/jacked up?
