Did a little shopping

Tires - 265/75R16s Americus ATRs (Walmart.com made in Taiwan) 1st hurdle passed, they balanced fine. They're a 50k tire and they were on sale, so for the price which was over half less of what a BFG AT was I thought I'd give Wally a try. Aside from the time it took they (Walmart) did a lot of extra little details compared to the Discount or Les Schwab do. Cleaned mating surfaces, anti-seized the studs, cleaned the rim edge for weights, and had a 2nd person re-check the torque.

I put some highway miles on them and they are quiet on the freeway and a low rumble on the streets. Went to the j/y and picked up the overhead console and mirror.

I got the overhead console because on mine the film circuit ripped when I tried to replace the bulbs in it.

Those tires look great!! I'll have to check Walmart and Sam's when I'm ready to change mine. Found tires at Sam's for my son's XB at a $75 savings over Walmart and almost $175 over Discount.
