Hey Mike

OK, already bought the Hellas on Autoeverything.com.

For the tires, I went to tirerack.com and put in 265/65/18 which sounds like what I want. However, nothing came up....Any other tire stores online where I can do some research on this?

Alsolutely pumped to get going!

Thanks
CL

here are pretty much the tire sizes avail. for you at a tire store.

235/65-18 - 1" taller in diameter, but a bit narrower
275/55-18 - .9" taller in diameter, and a little wider
285/55-18 - 1.3" taller in diameter and a bit more wider than the 275/55's

I would go with the 285/55-18's if I were you, with a agressive All-Terrain.

Hey Mike

Outstanding. I like the idea of the 285/55/18. I presume there would not be a noticeable difference in gas mileage. Also I presume that there is no safety concern going to the higher profile. The wider profeil should offset that concern I guess.

Bottom line is I want this beast to look sharp too.

Thanks alot once again
