I put some new shoes on my 5500 4x4 today. I have $1375.00 in 6 new Otani 650's. These are about the perfect mix for a forest service road / snow tire in a 19.5. Softish tread compound, lots of sipes, studable and decent voids.....and not Chinese.
I added a set of centramatic balancers while I was at it which imo should be factory for any truck that will see gravel roads.
The poor guys at the tire joint were not able to get the duals free...so I had to take it home and put a strap and chain fall on it to break it loose. All done now and I am happy with it.
Never heard about balancers and dirt roads
