Re: K5's new tires and rims

Those other tires certainly were old, if they're the ones on it since you bought the Blazer. It was cool being an 8-lug Blazer with 16" factory split rims. Could have gotten away with calling a special build. Anyway... I second you made a great choice in tire. I did the same thing on my '72 K2500. I've had it since '01 and always had old tires on it. A couple real old sets off of my other trucks, then a not so old but worn out set. I finally got'er a new set of wheels and Duratracs. They do ride extremely nicely, still do. I've had the MT/Rs and they were known for getting hard and lumpy, which proved true when on the '85 Jimmy I had (after the '91 V2500 Suburban from new). I went for the Duratracs hoping they'd be better and so far no disappointments. The Blazer looks great!
