Thanks, I do appreciate it. I know I'm rollin' dem bones, but that $200, and the DT recommendation sold me on them. We've done business with this one DT location for over 20 years, buying dozens of tires, so they know us and our record. I really think they want us back and wouldn't steer us too wrong. I've already admitted that, despite my previous comments, I did have good luck with my last set of Greenball Towmasters, which were installed in '07, though I'd be surprised as hell if they had 5k miles on them.

And if those Greenballs held up, this should be a cinch.
I'm not all that light, when loaded. Surprisingly, this low profile rig grosses 11,300 with nearly 4k lbs CCC. It's =stout=, having a Zieman frame. If it didn't have a fairly light pin, I'd be overloaded on my '02 D'max, for sure.

Not sure I will ever do over 100mph, but, maybe 80 or a bit above when passing on 2 lane roads. Nice to have a big engine and small trailer
Any more, I don't drive much over 65 in my truck, even when not towing. My wallet thanks me, big time! :-) The difference even between 60 and 65 is =very= noticeable.
