    I do agree that the driver of the truck was following to close....that being said; if you look at other videos by this guy, he is out to do everything he can to hurt the Truck Driving Community as a whole. He has one that does the same thing to a Swift driver, among others. I need to find a way that I can do nothing more than go around try to find fault with others....(sarcasm). He is an idiot, plain and simple! Oh and to stay in the spirit of the OP...I think the tires are an optical illusion....or something...

    The guy filming is an idiot. He's holding up traffic in the #1 lane and driving distracted.

    To bad that video doesn't show why he is so close to that swift truck. I'm betting swift finally got the chance to pass something and didn't have a problem cutting someone off. That was close but I have a hard time imagining he ran up on swift like that without being cut off. We'll just edit that part out and make this guy the ####### while I pace him and block 2 lanes.

    I'm not referring to me following you... It was a general statement...

    I have a set of balls I dont hesitate to get in the left lane and pass if need be... I don't drive a 62mph turtle

    He hasnt posted a video in 2 years or so.....I looked around for more info on the guy....looks like he used these videos as "ransom" He would post the video up on youtube, contact the company and offer to take it down for X.XX amount of money.

    Looks like he was out on another super secret spy mission....but this time decided to teach his mark a lesson by firing a 9mm pistol at him......guess he cut him off or passed by a shadow too fast........

    here is the article

    Looks to me like the guy doing the video has his own issues and plenty of them. Not casting stones just saying HIS behavior scares me. You all know what I'm saying. The mannerisms and tone of voice are a dead give away. Maybe he can get the help he needs while he is locked up. I am sure we will never get to see the video he was making when he fired on this hand.

    What's there to be skeptical about? I run 11R24.5 tires on my truck. I like having the extra ground clearance when I'm navigating around a job site. The bigger tires also carry more weight without showing it. For example, the lo-pro 22.5 trailer tires on the company trailers squat more with 32K on them than my tractor tires do at 36K. So, if you are loaded a little heavy (paid by the ton) and don't want to draw too much attention, you want tires that won't give you away.

    And as long as I'm not picky, I can find 11R24.5 tires easy enough. It is only when I'm looking for a specific brand & tread that I need to call around or place an order & wait.
