53 michelin xzl tires

[aziator]

Finished up all seven tires this morning. Got it down to about 45 minutes per tire including air up. Now to find time to get these mounted.

Got all 6 tires mounted on the truck Friday, now I need to figure out how to modify the spare tire carrier for the spare.

I think the 16s without runflat inserts are lighter than the 14s with them. Though maybe I was just tired at the end of the day when I had to move all the 14s.

Looks awesome, just to be clear you are running HEMTT wheels on the front right??

Yes Sir, I went HEMTT wheels all the way around so I wouldn't worry about which ones would be for the fronts/rears.

Thank you for that info & that makes perfect logic too!

How much space do you end up with between the rears?

About 2 side by side finger widths with new 1600s

Getting close. Hopefully getting tires on the truck next week! Taking truck to a shop that has large equipment for installing very large tires.

This is one of those things that I won't do to my truck, but I enjoy watching other people do to their trucks.
Those tires are epic.

Your truck looks good! Big & beastly. I'm on the fence currently between staying with duals and using a 12.00-20 NDT or jumping up to 53s like yours or maybe getting singled out with 14.00-20 bridge truck tires...

Because I have "FOFTS". Fear of flat tires! I don't wanna change that thing out on the side of the road.

Lmao, ya they are very heavy. Will probably take 2 people to change a tire!

I like that Iceman's and the truck in the video are 809's. The 939's get all the glory around here.

I realize that from a technical aspect, the 939's are probably superior but the 809's are the "good" kind of ugly.
