I can add a little to the tire conversation.

The OEM Goodyears were terrible on my truck. Five flats within 2 years, and they always leaked. I had to stop at a gas station literally once a week to keep filling them up.

I replaced them, and went up one size to Big O BigFoot AT's at size 265/75/16, on the OEM wheels. I wanted Coopers, but the Big O salesman claimed all Big O tires were actually made by Cooper, were about $25/tire cheaper, and had a better warranty. I got about 45K miles out of them. I replaced them after we moved to KY. Here, the closest Big O is ~80 miles away.... No-Go.

I finally got the Cooper ST Maxx's I had always wanted. No local shopp could order them for me, I had to get them from tirerack.com. It made me wonder if maybe that model tire has, or is being discontinued.... Anyway, Here they are, right after mounting in December 2022. 265/75/16. So far, I only have about 6,000 miles on them, but I love them. Only downside is, we have a 500 foot long gravel drive, and these pick up a ton of gravel between the lugs, and then fling it at the bottom of the truck once I hit pavement and get up any speed

 

Morning folks , cardiologist appointment today, always fun. Be safe out there friends.

My last set of tires were Hankook ATMs and they were a good tire until the last half of tread life. Then they would loose traction in the rain. Running Cooper AT3’s now. Just put them on and seem good so far.

 

Jim... hope all goes well at your Doctor's appointment today

 

Good Morning

Currently 71 and rain , High 78 and t storms in the forecast for today

Good morning

Coffee brewed, scanned the news, and I have a list for the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe!

I have Michelin LTX-AT/2’s on my 2013 and I like them.


My daughter has GoodYear Wrangler TrailRunner AT’s on her 2015.

Not the Crohn’s, but the rest of your statement is funny Rocketman!

All the best to you Jim at the Cardiologist appt.

Another nice day on tap for us.

Good luck with that

I had those before the Toyo's.
Like you, they lost their wet traction.

 

Good Morning

Jim , Good luck at the Doc ... hopefully they find it and it's still beatin' right.

Thought and prayers. I have a friend who was a mail carrier that had that happen to him. So sorry he is going through this.

Maybe we should see if we can get our echo's on the same day and do a Zoom call while we are having it done.
