My new 2014 RRE with new wheels and side tubes.
I just picked this up about a week ago and and just got done putting the side tubes, mudflaps, and new wheels & tires on her. I think the 275/45-20 size tire is perfect, it really fills it out nicely. I'm still waiting on the arrival of my roof rails.

Probably not cool to ask, but what are side tubes?

RE: My new 2014 RRE with new wheels and side tubes.
Tubes designed to protect the sills when you go off road. They are usually chromed too which then looks awful if you do use them offroad and they get scratched and dinged. They are usually unbelievably heavy and stop you fitting a jack in the event of having to do a roadside tyre change as they obstruct the jacking points unless you carry a trolley jack around with you.
