with Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus M+S EcoImpact tires in 285/50R20 size. – 2021 update: The noisey Pirellis have been replaced with
Michelin Defender LTX M/S 285/50R20 116H. These are providing an amazingly quiet and comfortable ride!
The Winter tires are our second set of Michelin Premier LTX BK SL 275/55R19 111H, and are excellent in snowy weather!
PVD Coating "is the newest alternative to the chrome plating that has been used for trucks and cars for years. This is because it has been proven to
increase durability and weigh less than chrome coating, which is an advantage because a vehicle's acceleration and fuel efficiency will increase."
