Thanks Dave. it's never all cherries that's for sure.

I made an appointment to balance my tires on Monday. I'm going to use the silicon sand. I put this in my dually and it's worked out well. It's my understanding, there are several different methods to balance the tires.

#1 typical weights ( may fall off)
#2 powder (not recommended for tires that aren't used much due to condensation, turns powder to rock)
#3 the silicon sand (about the same as powder but wont turn to rock with moisture)
#4 ceramic beads (most claim this to be the best)
#5 liquid (will freeze in the north)

I wounder how some of these will effect pressure sensors.

Anyone have experience with Kenda F rated tires in our size which are rated for 3920 lbs load. They claim to be made in Taiwan and have a two year warranty. $209 from eTrailer with free shipping.

Not sure what is going on with this tire but the tire manufacturer does not set load capacity, The Tire & Rim Assn does this. The approved Load capacity of a 235/85R16 F tire is 3415 lbs at 95 psi. There is something wrong. In a 235/85R16 I am a fan of the load range E Michelin XPS Rib and Bridgestone R250, The Goodyear G614 in LR G. All of these have an all steel casing and are built like heavy duty truck tires.

Got the h rated tires and wheel on yesterday. Those things weigh a ton. Nice being able to lift the rig to install. Did my wet bolts and wheel bearings at the same time. A little anti-seize and a 1/2 torque wrench did the trick. I'm whooped over after torquing down 32 lug nuts. More piece of mind now.

Got any pics? Would like to see how they look!

Radio_Flyer · 06-29-2014, 03:08 PM

I will get a couple pictures up today.

Cool! You'll be looking all DRV on us

Radio_Flyer · 06-29-2014, 03:39 PM

Quick pic -

Oh wow, those are super looking wheels!! Thanks for the pic! For some reason I thought the selection was very limited on the 17.5, more like the Alcoa look.

And equally sexy wheel covers, go nice with your paint scheme!

johnboytoo · 06-29-2014, 06:21 PM

Nice - you know I like 'em cuz they look a lot like my previous SOB's wheels and similar to my trucks wheels !

Radio_Flyer · 06-30-2014, 12:48 AM

Thanks everyone. I had quite a few choices, but think these match the paint scheme better. The covers were a nice pickup, match pretty close. Makes me want to get my truck painted to match and some wheels to match. Where will it end? ��

We have to get our wives together so Ginny can convert her. The more toys I have the better Ginny is treated.
