I would absolutely swap those onto yours. Curious what the current tire pressure is in them right now.

I have absolutely no idea on TP, my guess would be 35-40 since they were recently installed and tire shops always like to over inflate. I think I'll probably go for it, just hope they dont look too small
I hear ya man. I understand on the right look. I am just so happy I just replaced my noisy, hard riding, worn out AT's with some highway tires, so much quieter and smoother. Seem to have very good wet handling thought this storm we just had. I even did a tour in some of the flooded areas around me that are mud soaked. They handled it well. Next test will be the slimy boat ramp soon I hope. Waiting for things to sort of get back to normal here before I got towing my boat past everyone that is suffering near the river. Really ugly right now. Sorry I am rambling. Continue on.
As our local pitch man Tom Peterson used to say, free is a very good price. I always loved the free flat top haircuts he offered!.

Another weekend of no progress on anything Tahoe related, I did get a quick preflight inspection done to it since I'm taking it to Sanibel Island this coming weekend. So happy it uses nearly no oil any more and has no leaks again! Oh also jacked the fog lights to put on my Taco since its headlights are so bad.
Did some shenanigans on the Mountianeer project, had to weld the snap ring pliers to the snap ring to get the trans shift servo in place. Hoping to have it done and gone soon.
Did a bunch of other side jobs all weekend including brakes on a f250 that had a caliper blow out and lost all brakes.

Overachiever. I did almost nothing.

I ******* up big time........
Been waiting to install the new cluster until the truck hit dead on 273,000 so I could honestly say the mileage is correct with the new cluster. Well, I drove to Sanibel island last weekend some 500 miles round trip and was sitting just around 271,9xx. Then I volunteered for a trip up to Mobile Alabama to buy a POS Ford 7.3 6spd work truck for my company. I have always considered a diesel truck with a manual trans to be the next evolution of my DD when I get tired of the Tahoe or outgrow its capabilities. Therefore I was excited to try the Legendary 7.3 PSD with the also legendary german ZF6 6 speed. The route showed right at 491 miles one way which I figured would give me a little room for error. I think the tire size is off more than I anticipated "(bout 2MPH at 75) and since the Ford was a POS we ended up making way more pit stops than expected and actually ditched the truck a few hours from home after the turbo ended its own life. Ended up pulling into the driveway at 273,003 ruining my chances of ever being able to resale the truck and making it nearly worthless
Should I try to reverse for 3 miles so it will roll back?
Other than the Ford being a POS the Tahoe ran great on 87 and managed 18mpg at 70, only 16mpg at 90. I think I could squeeze into the 20s with taller skinnier tires aired up properly, lightweight wheels, and working cruise control.
