You've convinced me. Now the only thing to decide is which tire. I have four that I have picked out, one of which I also have the option of buying from a shop in town for a little bit more.

I'm not sure which brand would be better. I'd like a second opinion on them but if you don't feel like looking through them I understand. I appreciate all your help, it has made this a whole lot easier. I've been using this truck to learn more about working on vehicles and teaching myself along the way, but this is the first time I'll change the tires since buying it.
