Experience getting new 17 inch truck tires
 
I hang out at Latrobe Tire. At inspection Dustin the owner said I have tires for you. Come back after New Years I said ok. Today I went in at 8 am. We are bs s as usual. He finishes his young help is an hour late. I said what do I owe you, he said, nothing right now(I need new front rotors and pads after 94k) I said well the tires cost you something, he said they are yours they just showed up!! Huh! 17 " hankook AT2 for my 2500 GMC.Let me know how you like them!? What a ,I was floored!

Sounds like a good day. What kind of beer?

I'm thinking that sounds more like the work of medical grade marijuana .

I'm thinking it is a trial for this brand of tires. Not sure I'll find out. The tires that were on my truck were slightly used Michliens he gave me free 3 yrs ago. One business he deals with when the boss wants new tires he just gets them.Soooo Dustin saved them for me. I liked the Michliens, expessive though. We dont talk politics much to depressing. Just life what each is doing etc,hunting,camping,trucks, cars the reliability. I've been going to this same shop since I started driving. It was Hoymans Tire Shop,McCreary tire dealer. One of that owners workers John after years working other jobs bought the shop. He after many many years himself,just recently sold the shop to his relative Dustin. He is very busy.
Just needs reliable help. He is paying good wages. There is no beer involved. John helps me with my taxes. Like a small family. I'll say to John what did you say to your wife in the backseat at the drive in ( figuring he d say something like I love you) he says to her,do you have panties on'. We have funn.

Score!
Just put Hankook Dynapro X1’s on a few weeks back. 255/80/17. Fill up my wheel wells on the Duramax much better than the 245/75/17 factory size. This is just my winter tires/rims, as they are a pretty aggressive tread, but surprisingly quiet.
Hope you like yours as much as I like these!
