The wheels cost $1700, plus $1400 for a set of Pirelli Run Flat Scorpions..
I'm ready for this winter

I think I am just using the stockers and installing a set of Contis. they are very inexpensive and performance should pick up with the reduced weight.
I might get them powdercoated before I do it. I am just debating if it is worth doing it before winter?
But can you post a pic of your 19s?? or at least the wheel type. Just incase I find a set on ebay? One huge advantage I can see with using a 19/thinner tire is the road salt/sand blast to the wheel openings will not be nearly as bad as using the full sized tires.
I was looking it over and you can see the outer edge of the tire when you stand looking down the side of the truck(front to back)
A M&S tire has sipes that help in snow and mud. Those sipes will hold and throw all the dirt/salt/small rocks/sand right into the wheel openings. What is the offset of the 19s. Do they stick in more?
