"There's round tires and there's BFGs"

 

Yup, part of me hopes this location will let me warranty them. Ive been to 3 others that just said to expect vibrations because they are MTs

All of the other brands I run balance out well enough to not want to shake the truck apart on the highway

 

Tried balancing beads?

 

On these specific tires, no, but i have had good luck with them on 2 jeeps with Nittos and Swampers.

 

I almost think they are out of round or coming apart but discount keeps saying no

 

The last one used crimp on weights on the inside only. Hopefully they see this BS from the DT on Evans and try rotating the tire on the wheel

 

If anything it may just be this one. The rest balanced with an oz or so each

 

This DT rep was skeptical but also wanted to tell me it was because of the aftermarket wheels...which were purchased at Discount and ran fine with 2 other sets of tires

 

Cool. Yeah that’s the same reason why I use pvc for mock ups. Cheap and I make a lot of mistakes

 

a man with a plan

 

mistakes help make extra unique designs

 

Do they make 180 degree dies for schedule 40? Asking for a friend

 

Listening to this Discount Tire rep try and explain his claim that tires wear out faster in CO to a woman who is using a mileage warranty

 

Dam, you would have more success if you were actually a Russian trying to influence our elections.

 

Probably as neat as the Chevy dealer telling me my airbag sensor ($100ish dealer priced part and at most 30 min of labor) had to be done ASAP for like $500 because it could just make the airbags go off randomly. SRS light was on which to my understanding kills the system (so nothing will pop). I just smiled and nodded and asked for my keys. Back on my 05 Silverado. It was a sub $30 sensor and 10 minutes of time to replace.

 

So while i was trying to kill some time waiting for it to warm up earlier.. I stumbled on YouTube videos of copart cars people buy and fix.

My bank account doesn't like where this is headed. I have a few I'm watching already. but i figure i have the trailer to go get them now.. And 5 acres to store things on.

 

Ahhhh yup I have fallen down the same hole.

I'm toying with the idea of buying a hail damaged deezuhl

 

They were able to get them all under an ounce, seems to run better than before but I didn't make any extended highway trips today

 

Changed the plugs and this is what it sounds like now. Seems to be fine.
