New shoes and Outback TX-1s!

I am ashamed to say that I bought these wheels almost a year ago and have just gotten around to getting them installed. I decided to go with ATs since the 60 is my daily driver and toddler adventures have her spending more time on pavement than off. Best horsepower mod and brake mod ever made, going from 36 pound steel wheels to 16 pound aluminum. I immediately noticed that the truck is easier to steer at slow speeds, she accelerates faster and smoother (NO LAUGHING!!!), she brakes quicker and the suspension isn't as harsh over the bumps. I got them at Western Tire in Burbank, a little more expensive but the service was outstanding and I got to support a small family business. One of the owners went so far as asking if I had some time because they wanted to paint the hubs and rear drums. Then they went so far as to mask off the hubs so they wouldn't get paint on them, customer service is not dead. Lastly, the drop in noise level from the MTs was more than I had thought it would be. All in all I'm stoked!
