Lola and her new Michelin shoes!
I agree wholeheartedly with
@BHaas35 - breaking down the wheels, cleaning and painting, then reassembling everything is a lot of work.
Removing six wheels from the truck and installing the six new ones felt like a holiday in comparison!
The rims are the Canadian two piece rims; I think they are very similar to the A3 rims.
I also adjusted toe-in (with two PVC pipes sliding in each other). I hated how the truck was squirrely all over the road with the previous radials. I know I had not touched the spring seats but I thought I had adjusted toe-in. Alas...not so.
Toe-in was set to exactly 1/4 inch. I turned it to zero. Almost nothing - but, wow, what a difference on the road!
Truck is so much more planted and I ran 55 mph over horrible roads on my test drive where I could barely hold 40 before, with the truck jumping all over the place.
Just installed some MRAP mirrors and did some painting.
Next job...wheel #7 is leaking...get to break that down again and reassemble. Maybe I pinched the O-ring. If it is worth doing, it's worth doing it again....or so I am telling myself.
