Hey everyone, So i finally made a decision on what tire i wanted to get for my cruiser! i purchased a set of Hankook Dyanpro ATM RF10's in the size 305/70 R16 they measure out to be about 32.9 inches with my trusty tape measure, and look great on the truck. I currently have them mounted on my stock wheels (see pictures) and with 1.5 inch spacers and in my opinion they look absolutely perfect on a stock truck!

I did have a little bit of rubbing on the front bumper of the passenger side, this was fixed with a little use of the sawzall and took about a 1/2 inch of plastic off from the inside tip of the bumper (you couldn't tell unless i showed you were i cut. and i also had a tad bit of rubbing on the drivers side side skirt plastic flap that was also fixed with just a little bit of trimming. both of these situations happened at full lock and on a slight incline. some have mentioned no need for any modification, however i feel as though after 14 years and unknown use and road hazard's every vehicle is slightly different at this point, and mine happened to need a little bit of work to fit perfectly.
so after having them installed and trimming away a bit of plastic, i took them on a 5 day drive from Maine to PA to NJ to NY to CT and then back to MA where I live so around 900-1000 mile road trip. the tires preformed flawlessly! very stable on the highway and no more loud than my (i am ashamed to say) winter tires that i have not taken off yet! (only put about 4k on them total though) my best millage showed on the trip meter at 334 miles on 21.02 gallons of gas so that would be about 15.88 MPG, now factoring in that the tires are larger than stock and i am actually traveling around 5.3% more distance, my actual millage traveled was more like 351 miles for 21.02 gallons of gas, or 16.73 MPG!! not bad at all for an old girl !
regardless, the tires ran straight and true the whole time, even during the torrential down pours we were driving through this past Sunday, the cruiser was in complete control during all major braking and accelerating and cornering. these stuck right to the road! I have not had any off road time with them as i just had them put on last week on Monday, however i can update that at a later time, as well as winter performance as i plan to try these out during the snow season as well. all said and done i am very very happy with the performance and look of these tires. and i will update as i put more millage on them. now on to the pictures.
Enjoy!
Passenger Rear Quarter
Drivers Rear Quarter, i have a slightly droopy rear bumper that i need to address
Passenger Side Profile
Drivers side Profile, disregard the studs in the front fender, i need to buy a new one as the clips have broken off of the stock flairs, and needed a little extra support (not removing them FYI )
old 265 75 r16s and new hankooks for a size comparison it looks like a soccer mom SUV with the smaller tires, is that how people feel when they go from 33's to 35-37s?
