Well I did my first tow with the trailer today since installing the tires. First had to get the trailer out of it's parking spot. Maneuvering it out involves getting the front tires of the truck off the turn around area into a bit of dirt / mud. With the old tires this usually caused some trouble getting it to turn. This morning it was no problem. The drive there and back was uneventful, a lot of hills, curves and varying of speed. I will say the wider tires definitely make a difference in stability. I've also got to get that re-gear done.... 3.41's just don't cut it in the hills.

And because we need pics.
