Greeting from SLC, UT

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike from Salt Lake City, UT. I've been lurking here for awhile now trying to figure out what to do with my 2003 TB LTZ. When I picked it up a few years ago it had 20" wheels and car tires. I didn't like it but didn't bother with it as it's my daily driver. The wheels recently started leaking due to corrosion of the chrome plating inside on the bead. Thanks to you guys I've now gone back to 17" MB TKO wheels and put a set of Yokohama Geolander AT-S 265/65/17 on it and it looks great. You guys made it possible with the tire size guide! Look forward to more of that great info as I start looking at other things to do to it as budget allows. Thanks!
Mike

Salt Lake, Utah? I'm jealous. You'd better be offroading already if you live there!

Thanks, I like them so far. They look really good. I'm actually in Lehi, which is about 25 miles south of SLC for anyone not familiar with the area.
