Got Some New Tires, but i dont know what to do with them......

ok so i got a set of pro comp a/t's 35x12.5 R15 today, they have atleast 50% tread on them and are in what looks like very good shape, my 33's are getting close to replacement and im weiry as to whether i schould put them on or not, ive got plenty of room for them and would love the look of bigger tires, i can get some stock rims and mount them on there or i could mount them on my eagle's, im lost....i just need some help

Those are dirty, did someone go mudding in them before they sold them to you? Toss 'em on the Eagles.

15x8 Eagles? They'll be fine. I have 35x12.5x15 on my Mickey Thompson Classic II's which are very similar.

it may sound bad but i think that doing this will motivate me to get 4.56's put in, or i just may not mind it to much, i just want to get my own opinion

mine gets washed once a week if that any more. main reason for the reason i hate cleaning them is the bleach white stains/eats my aluminum wheels then i have to polish them again. so i just would rather have nice wheels and black wall out on the tires.

zach just some stuff like comet or ajax and a bruch. keep the brush and tire wet n looks just as good n lot easier. dont have to worry bout it ruining the rims or anything.

back on topic: black letters in and same for u lol...use some comet or something like that with a bruch and should come off fairly easy. thats how i do it at work with the blue crap on the letters.
