    Tires - best place to purchase

    I re-read the rules and I think I am safe to ask this question - Where have member purchased tires for their trucks? Any place to avoid? My M43 is going to need all four replaced. Plus I need a rim and tire for the spare. Todd

    Nice Mayor Joe. I am going to 'steal' your photo (if acceptable) for my desktop - to keep my thoughts toward the final goal. Question - white inside? Really - mine is green, now I am wondering which is typical. Thoughts??
