Good starting point, just depends on what you're looking for. Do you want perfect tire wear, the best mileage, or the most comfortable ride?

Who knows its my wife's vehicle. But I would like perfect tire wear cause I want to see how these tires wear.

If that's the case, YouTube a chalk test.

Verdict is here! I don't rub on anything. That's the good news!! But bad news is my rear tires are real close to the cab mount and that thing looks sharp!

You need to trim your pinch seams. Angle grinder with a cut off wheel.

If you have a welder, seal the cut you made (some .023 mig wire, set your machine for 20 gauge steel, and alternate and stack your spot welds). People have also used JB weld. Doesn't really matter, just comes down to how much of a perfectionist you are.

Stuff the tires and double check. You could be rubbing fenders and front bumper when hitting bumps/drainage channels/etc on the street while turning. And yeah, there are a bunch of how-to's and videos on cutting off that corner of the pinch seam. More than a few people have sliced their tires up on those.

The drive home has bumps and holes in them and they did just fine. The pictures were after I got home from the shop.

Yeah I don't do welding lol but I will probably cut it off after I get to Colorado or I'll have North ridge do it for me
