I've been shopping for tires for about a month now for the Yukon. Had a budget in mind of around $700 or so for some quality LT 16" tires. Nothing too aggressive, but not just a plain old street tire either. Figured I would check craigslist one last time before I went and plunked down the cash on some new rubber.

Found these for $400. Tires have ~80% tread left on them. Upgraded the wheels from the "bubbly" 16" units to these slightly more modern 17" units as well. The wheels even have a red GMC stamped into the center cap to match the front grill! The tires aren't exactly what I wanted, but they'll do for another couple years until they wear out on me. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the updated look and the remaining $300 in my pocket!

The boat is doing well. Threw a new stereo and speakers in it earlier this spring. Between rain and schedules we haven't had it out yet. Lots and lots of rain around here, and all the lakes have water well above the top of the launch ramp making it hard to do any boating. It'll get better (although with a baby due in early August I doubt we'll be boating much this year).

Good score. Looks cleaner! Now you got some cash for more mods. First thing you should do is the hidden antennae mod. Makes the yuk look sleek and sexy.
