.I hear a lot of good things about running 19.5 wheels and commercial tires for fuel mileage and long wear.Would that work for you?I know they have some commercial offroad tires for 19.5 wheels.I'm just not sure they would have the flex or traction without running them nearly flat for traction.[/QUOTE]
What 19.5 tires are you refering to i have been looking for some for my truck. I know that you can not air them down i have blown 4-5 beads b/c I was aired down to far the 19.5 rims do not have the safty bead on them to keep the bead on the tire. the lowest I can go down before the bead goes is about 60 psi on the back and 70psi on front

I was running Goodyear G-124's previously. Good tire, can't air down period and are not made to air down as the steel side walls won't tolerate it. The Conti's I'm run at 70-75 psi for highway and around 45 psi off highway/off road. I probably could go a little lower, but I've never popped a bead, nor want to in the boonies without a truck tire shop nearby...

There was a thread on http://www.dieselbombers.com/ about their longevity and better fuel mileage.
http://www.ricksontruckwheels.com/ does conversions and offers different tires.

Great article on the longevity of 19'5's and 22.5's on the highway.

New tires are on! I hope these one last longer:
New mounting position for my Nexus 7. My mirror is not bing used, but can't come down because it's full of sensors and a microphone. Now to decide if I need to run a 12 volt outlet up there:

Nice. I ordered a 10' long micro USB with a right angle connector to run up to my cell phone dock that's beside the mirror. You could do similar and just power the USB from behind the dash.

Hi Bob,
Hopefully this set will last a little longer otherwise we'll probably have to put a lift on this truck and run Michelin XL's or ZXL's in the 41" size that will fit on this rim. I not even sure how I would do that at this point.
Table parts I bought:
Patrick Metals 164922 30" Table Support Sliding off Amazon
Black Metal Folding Adjustable Table Legs (Pkg./2) 50-0034 off of Ebay
