The back tires are so big they make the fronts look like 13" VW tires.

The Mickey Thompsons that "were" on the truck are the same size as the new Hoosiers, (33x21.5") yet they look somewhat smaller. At first I thought it was because they weren't mounted on the rims yet, but as you'll see down below, they look the same way after being mounted. Thankfully I have plenty of room under the rearend to accomodate a wider tire.

Ok, as I said earlier,.........even though the tire measurements are the same, these Hoosiers are definitely wider than the Mickey Thompsons. The nice thing about the Hoosiers is that they're radials, (Instead of being Bias Ply).....so now the back of my truck doesn't wander around on the freeway anymore.
