I couldn't believe the difference. So that's better. These are BF Goodrich's. If I decide to flip them I have to make sure the white would come clean anyway. From what I can tell the white is a bit worn off. So we will see. Definitely happy with the change. 98 LS1 Corvette motor and tranny, Dakota managed air ride, 4 link, monster notch, full tub.

I use a stiff briste brush and dip it in wet dirt to scrub tires. Out of all the cleaners dirt works best on a tire.lol go figure. | | | Re: update on my 87 g20 | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 | COMET and a scrub brush will get even the worse white letters clean..... The white letters will NOT wear off they are built right into the side wall of the tire.Constant curb scrubbing can turn the white letters onto a jagged white wall. The actual weight is not the issue.Think of the deep dish wheel like a pry bar.The farther the wheel hangs out from the center of the spindle the more leverage the weight of the tire wheel combo has..
DIRT....really...... Sorry I will put my comet up against your dirt any day....LOL
Rotation.....,If you took a truck to a tire store that was that freaking stupid. I really hope you did not return........ But then I have seen some so called "PRO's" do some pretty dumb things .......
