    I got new tires installed this weekend. I went with 285/75 r18 cooper at3 xl this times. I have bilstein 6112 up front on the 1.9 setting and an aal on the back with stock wheels. I read through many different threads and debated on if I should go up to this size or stay with 275/70r18. I didn't want to lift it anymore or do a cab mount chop. For anyone else with a similar setup who is debating on going up to this size all I had to do was remove the front mud flap and do some minor trimming on the skid plate. I also installed a hypertec speedometer calibrator. I've only put about 100 miles on them but am happy so far.

    On a side note, I looked at my brakes while discount tire had the wheels off. This is what my brake pads look like after 98700 miles.

    Is that the original pad? Front or rear?
