I think I did all I could do in the tire department:



New Sailun S637 235/85R16 (DOT 0517) replacing Provider 10 ply. Bought 5; one for the spare
New HiSpec 6.5" wide wheels to give the recommended width for the tire; bought 5
Metal valve stems
Lug-centric balanced
TPMS TireTracker TT-500
Harbor Freight infrared thermometer


See, I listen to all you guys!

Tires from simpletire; wheels from recstuff. Found "Best One Tire & Service of Mid America" to mount and balance. $1 per inch! Out the door for all 5 mounted and balanced for $90! Put them on the 5er myself at home.

Couldn't you have just gone to a junkyard and bought a set of tires and wheels off of an old Toyota Camry and put them on?.....look at all the money you would have saved!
















Good choice and a very nice upgrade! Well done sir!

Camry?? You should source wheels from an 90's era Toyota Supra. Those are the only ones to have.... Camry... pffft! :whistling:

Great upgrade! The peace of mind from not worrying about which tire is going to blow every minute will be priceless.

I feel real comfortable pulling my Montana with the Sailuns

Never had any problems with ours...2-1/2 yrs so far. Came from the factory on our Fuzion.
