I mentioned a body lift in my original post but not doing that,
Sorry about that... I clearly overlooked that section. 😁
The reason for the tire is performance in the snow and overall wet conditions.
I'm looking to replace my tires and wheels also. I would love to get a set of Duratrac's but I doubt my truck will ever see much dirt. It's sadly all pavement in my area.

It would be too much tire for my needs unfortunately. Esthetics? Definitely nothing wrong with that. I recently upgraded to Morimoto's and SS3 fog lights. That purchase was for esthetics.
Enjoy your truck and have a Merry Christmas 🎄
