New England B.S. Thread

Thanks. I'll start my search with Wilson Tire up in Plymouth and work my way south towards Concord. It won't be for a couple weeks as I'm out of state now. My current set of AT3(second pair) have finally shit the bed.

 

Also, I'm a big fan of duratracs. If they had 34's in c load I'd be sticking with them

 

I just got home. I worked from 8am until 7:45 pm and will most likely be doing similar hours all week.

 

I've had the 9/80 since college. I love it. If I want to conserve vacation time, I take Friday-off weeks. If I want to be lazy, I take off the Friday-on week and then do 4 day, off, 4 day.

This tire talk has got me thinking I need to figure out which Nokians I want to run for snow tires. I'll have to see if the P rated ones are available in 265/70-17 or if I'm stuck with LT ones. I'd love to do a 255 and go taller, but I don't feel like taking the chance that something rubs. It shouldn't, but I know 265/70-17 fits without issue.

 

I had studded Hankook RW11 tires on steel rims for winter tires up in Alaska. Considering the roads didn't get salted up there, the studded were nice. Likely a hell of a lot cheaper than any flavor Nokian tire. Although the Nokian Haks are like the gold standard of winter truck tire.

I'm planning on just running Duratracs year round. I won't be doing much commuting though.

 

Love my duratracs. They wear quicker and can get a bit load. But their grip is bar none.

Can't have a soft compound that grips in cold weather and a compound that has a low wear rate. All about priorities.

 

Lol i got 5 35s installed and after tax was $1400

 

Love my duratracs, this is my 4th set. 1 on a TJ, 2 on my JK now these on the Taco.

Put KO2s on my first Tacoma and hated em.

 

I love my KO2's

 

must be like @DoubleRGirl and never go in rain or snow then.

 

Wow, that's actually not bad for 35's.

 

They seem like a very polarizing tire, people either seem to love them or have absolutely no use for them. So far, I'm really liking my Michelins although I don't think they're a true A/T tire, more like an aggressive all season but they do well in the snow and rain.

 

Nope! I drive them all 4 seasons and I like them way better than my old Duratracs.

 

never had those, but my toyo and wildpeaks both do significantly better than my wives ko2's.

 

I thought KO2s were decent in the snow? C or E? My deciding factor is the load rating - I have no use/need for E rated so the negatives with it aren't worth it.

 

Morning all!

Meh. I'm not the lawsuit type, and even if I were... The kitchen was redone in the 80's or 90's, so those cabinets were installed by either a contractor who's probably retired or dead by now, or by the original owner of the house, who is dead.

The Ram came with them on it, but I wouldn't buy them again. Decent traction in snow and rain but not great, and even rotating them every 5k and tinkering with the air pressures (depending on the load) they were smoked in 25k. The Falkens I replaced them with are trending to get about an extra 10k and the snow traction is much better.

 

well extended warranties for those mercedes is a lil $$$ but i found a unicorn and sent out an email hoping to hear back today. 07 V8 4runner with only 75k miles <3 towing capacity of 7k lbs and that bulletproof 4.7

 

E rated on my end

 

And, it will have a similar tech package to the new Tacomas! :snicker:

You're running E-rated tires on the Tacoma? What pressure are you running in them? That's a stiff tire for a light truck!

 

I run e-rated on my Tacoma because of all the flats I have had in the past running NMW roads. I run them at 35 on the streets and 20 on the dirt roads.
