I often forget how fat new vehicles have gotten. I believe my Tahoe weighs about 5700lbs.

Funny thing,I've never weighed it.I should do that some day :lol:

Advertised curb weight is a little over 5500lbs,add all the extra stuff I've added and what the PO put on it I'd say it's close to 6200lbs now,maybe more :dunno:

Some day I'll be able to see how it tows my loaded toy hauler,I know the KM2s did it quite nicely,very stable :thumbs:

Whats nice is the Dynapros are E rated whereas the KM2s were Ds.

I haven't weighed my truck in a few years but I know it was a bit north of 5k.

Now granted I'm heavier than you, but I probably only had half a tank of fuel. :lol:

To get all this weight moving it takes fuel,sure glad fuel prices have dropped.My TBI BBC drinks it like I use to drink beer :lol:

I'll get my calipers out and measure the tread depth and post it then we can monitor the wear.

Those are good looking tires you picked up. They look like they'll do a good job for you.
