Picked up the new 15" tires and wheels today. They look great! They are 'Karrier' Load Star's. The shop manager surprised me and purchased the Dexstar wheels and didn't charge extra. He included the TR-416 stems, balanced and the total came to less than $500. My DH was very pleased when he looked at the tires and saw the max pressure was 65 psi for these tires. Nicer ride! Too bad they are sitting in the back of the Tahoe. Raining today, but hopefully they'll get installed tomorrow.

I'm thinking of NOT modifying the spare tire rack and using it to carry a Barker blue waste tote. May need to modify, but it will be worth it. I think we'll carry the spare in the tow vehicle or I'm thinking of using a hitch mounted spare tire carrier on the back of the TM like this one: http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Carg...rt/c31006.html

Now what size tote...
