    Probably couldn’t afford to replace the nice big tires. Mud tires wear way quicker than most would think, and hes rocking cheap steelies, so I bet its a money issue that come up after he put the lift on.

        He might have thought he would have to replace them as often as regular tires, and then after seeing how quick they went bald, he downgraded to steelies and regular tires. It would be an understandable but expensive mistake.

        Seriously, as good as mud tires look, they go bald quick and they are expensive as hell in larger sizes. That plus the road noise is just atrocious. Stuff you might not realize until you own them yourself, and then you’re stuck with a jacked truck with small wheels.

          Thank you for providing this well-thought, rational explanation.

          I’m still gonna laugh at that truck driver, though.
