Hey Eddy, I'm going to text that guy in Freeport and make sure he's still down. I should be done with everything around 7:30-8:00, you still down for a quick road trip?

so guys I have a bit of a dillema, after flexing without sways I'm not sure about going to a 33" tire..

and I have the option to buy new 33s soon. I'm decided on 33x10.50s

one is COMPLETELY bald and another is I think a bias ply not radial. I'm goingt to prolly keep them around or sell for a ok price after I buy new tires. But im worried about cutting new tires on my fenders at flex...

personally I really prefer the 33x10.50 to th 12.50. I really like a narrower tire, but thats just my .02. I'm going to go to a 35x10.50 when I replace my 35x12.50's.
