Is anyone using these tires yet? How much lift do you think a person might need? The smallest size available is 27 X 8.5 R14. See for yourself...

Far too big for these trucks. Forgitaboutit! Just my opinion. I have a three inch lift and trimmed fenders and 25x8-12 tires on the front still hit sometimes.

Yup. Way too big. Even if by a miracle you could get them installed, their larger diameter would rob lots of power from the engine and your take-offs would lug the motor.

Where can you buy these hankook W401 tires. That is exactly what I have been looking for.

I Bought mine at a bridgestone GCR tire center here in Georgia. Any bridgestone dealer should be able to order them for you though.

Here is two more options for Winter tread tires - probably not for all year round as they are soft compound.

1. Pirelli Winter Carving Edge 155/70/R13 Diameter: 21.57 inches

2. Kumho I'ZEN WIS KW19 165/65/R14 Diameter: 22.4 inches
