Put 2 new (to me) tires on the truck today. Left the front end up in the air and took only only the rims in. Brought to mind previous threads Re: jack stands vs ramps and tire roar: - A definite advantage of jack stands over ramps is they allow you to work on the vehicle without the wheels in place (try doing a brake job with ramps) - Aggressive treads are MUCH noisier than highway treads (replacement tires are M+S). Because the truck has no soundproofing whatsoever, I now hear them roaring even over the sound of the engine.
