Do you need that much tire to navigate that parking structure?

What kind of MPG do you get with that truck by the way? Does it run 87 or 93?

D2! :) It's nicknamed "The DurrtyMax"!


I saw 22MPG @ 70mph freeway cruise unloaded with my old 35s...


Loaded down with ~8k lbs, I was getting 18 freeway cruise @60mph with my 35s...


Which ain't too shabby considering the size.

None of them make much sense and all can be considered ridiculous when fuel is $4.00............so, if you're going to be ridiculous, you might as well get the largest tires that you can find.

Personally, I don't understand what the attraction might be.............if you want the height, just buy a 10 wheel tractor and drive it around without the trailer. Probably get about the same fuel economy..........maybe 10 mpg.

2006 GMC Sierra Owner's Manual Addendum:

"To enter vehicle, first open door closest to desired seating location, then walk back approximately 12 - 15 feet (3.6 - 4.7 meters), turn around, then run towards the door opening with everything that you have..."

What is the max allowable bumper/headlight height in Cali?

No bumper height regs. Head lights no more than 54" and no less than 22". This is measured from the filament.
