finally got new tires, and wheels...

Post by crew cab sonoma »

i got Cooper Discoverer H/T`s 255-70-15`s. they are 29.0" tall, and i forget what the advertised tread width is, but they are noticeably wider than the original Goodyear Wrangler 235-75-15`s...
$92.50 each. not too bad. i also had an alignment done.

i dont think these are considered all terrains, but they are
perfect for my STREET QUEEN! :wink:

the wheels are just some used std. S-10 4WD (RPO N91, i think) wheels i picked up locally over a year ago...

anything looks better than those GMC aluminum factory wheels...nyuk. :puke:

anyway, my truck looks, and drives MUCH better now.

one question though, does anybody know if there is a factory, or aftermarket center cap available, either unmarked, or preferably with "GMC" on them, that will fit the S-10 wheels?

Sorry Bro. Getting the POS Jeep rolling again is time consuming and not a whole lot of good jokes have come my way lately but, I have a few that I can pass on this weekend. Glad that Marsha and you enjoy them :wink:
