Morning everyone. Happy hump day.

 

Morning friends...

 

Standard, this is the first year for the ko2

 

Morning all

 

Weed-whacking Wednesday for me. Heading out soon to do that among some other landscaping things. Then time to paint the interior of my boat finally!

I never had MT tires on a car, but not sure I'd want to DD with them. That said, does the jeep crowd consider the MT to AT tire switch a bad thing since it would technically make it a little less trail capable?

 

Some want them back, like anything it is a mix. I for one am happy with the switch.

 

I figure any enthusiasts will be lifting and/or getting bigger tires, while the soccer moms couldn't care less

 

Looks like we have a little bit of a mix here! I think @redrelyt12 is right, KO2 is the top tire on here and it will keep most people happy. But if people are really gonna mod their jeep/truck they never keep the stock tires anyways (or at least in 99%) of the cases.

 

A lot of guys wheel the ko2s and they are a very capable tire off road.
I have mud terrains on my Rubicon right now they came off my trail rig and they had pretty much zero miles on them and that's why I'm using them, they definitely howl on the road but that doesn't really bother me and I prefer them off road ,when I had my Tacoma I ran mud terrains on that too.
When the time comes for new tires I might try an AT but it would have to be an aggressive one,

 

Morning all. Happy Hump Day!
Anybody see these idiots in Guatemala on the news this morning, standing there filming a pyroclastic flow roaring down the mountain towards them?

Someone's in full "empty nest" mode, going with a 2 door since the kids will be out of the house. Looks sharp, Bill!

 

But... you can't be mall-crawl rated with ATs.

 

I would go nuts with internet that slow. Different lifestyles

 

My mom gets about 2.8 down, .7 up on her DSL. It's not awful for browsing, but I think she pays about $70/month for that and the phone line.

 

I just hate when I see the irregular wear patterns. Lugs higher than others, edges feathered and scalloped

 

thanks. Pretty much true

 

Which you're guaranteed to get with an MT, unless you're doing a balance & rotate on your tires every Saturday or something.

My dad went out and bought a bare-bones regular cab truck after my younger brother graduated, thinking it'd be just him and my mom so why bother with an extended cab, power accessories, etc? Then he realized just how often he utilized the storage space that comes with the larger cab and after six months he was back in an extended cab truck

Which worked out well, since my brother still lives at home

 

Figured I have them from the trail rig so I might as well use them if I tried to sell them I'd lose money on them.

 

Nothing is blocked here at work which is actually a bad thing because the boss has horrifically infected our system twice now. Once with the ransomware virus which is so bad that even the MA State Police had to pay the ransom to the hackers to get back their files.

 

Sounds like some it nerds might be a good investment

 

Yeah I still have a second set of Bridgestones from the JK that I will throw on for long trips.
