You'll prolly want to get some summer tires for better grip since its hot in Texas?

What kind of wheels are u looking for? (Flashy, etc.)

my 85 is 2wd.Nothing too flashy....maybe upgrade to 15" or 16".The factory 14's do not cut it...

What?!?!

I hope that was a joke. If not, we dont really have problems with grip on hot asphalt...as a matter of fact, the tires probably grip better. Ever watch drag races? When they do a burnout before, it is to heat up the tires for better traction.

BTW....my BFG MT's grip damn well on rocks and on the road.

Yeh, that was a dumb comment now that i think about it...

What are u using this truck for everyday driving or what?
Do you want what stuck has or do you want some of those silver rims like they have on them Ford f-150's?

just something that looks nice..nothing too flashy..maybe chrome but not too big or small..just right

[85xcab]

i can take some pics but how do i post them??

[CamNub]

Can you get an online host to host them?
Cause if you can get a link, Just go to the post reply and click the image button. Then put ur link in and it should post ur pic.

Im not sure how to have TN host it but if you do a search you should be able to find out how.

I know what you mean. Because he's in Texas he won't need to get an all-season or snow rated tire like some of us living in other areas of the continent do. All-season tires are a compromise: not that great in the summer, not that great in the winter. Does Texas even have winter? Whenever the option is available, dedicated summer and dedicated winter tires are best.

85xcab,

The type of tire to get really depends on what you're going to do with it or the look you want. Off-road or sport? You might think BFG MT's grab good on the road, but there's no comparison to a high performance street tire.
