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.
This makes zero sense, because you just get regular larger tires instead of mud tires on the same rims.
Thats a good point, I didn't think of that. Maybe he has mud tires mounted on his big rims, but uses the small ones for day to day driving?
Road legal ness, would say winter rated but the grass is green, could have gotten a damaged rim or tire. It’s likely something that needed a different set of rims though.
Or it's at a shop, and they pulled the fatties off to change the tires, ran into some issue, needed to free up the bay waiting for parts, so threw on a set of something to be able to move it.
Maybe someone bought the truck, but it turned out they were too short to get in easily so they put smaller tires on so they could get into their car.
Makes sense. They skipped leg day, so they didn't have the vertical jump to get into the big truck.
That’s another good point. Put on road tires to diagnose issues even.
Thank you for providing this well-thought, rational explanation.
I'm still gonna laugh at that truck driver, though.
