    I was supposed to at another dealership but then they retracted their offer and waited another week and then sent me a new offer which was less pay only 32 hours a week and no benefits for a year. I'm like that's awful. This isn't 1964

    It is not

    I did :D

    Had a killer fleet maintenance offer, but the deadline came and went and a week later they called and said they were so considering but a narrowed the pool of candidates down and a week after that they were still considering and I'm like guys. I needed an answer to weeks ago. When you promised me.

    The fact that they are that incompetent, tells me that they have management issues and is probably not a good option.

    It’s amazing how many companies take weeks to make a decision. Then they wonder why they can’t hire anyone lol

    I think of them similar to the KO2. They're still good tires, but the market has caught up and there are better options now.

    They may not be all that, but they are one of very few choices in 255/85/16 (especially with a C rating). The others are way more expensive and mud terrain.

    That's just nature's way of telling you to get bigger tires. :notsure:

    Or get Geolandars. I know a guy who runs those, and he's pretty awesome.

    They do suck in winter, though, as do all MT's.

    I couldn't believe how much tires went up the year after I got those! I paid $242/ when I got them for 295/70/17. Same size is $364 now. :eek:

    I can't say. I've always had stupid tendencies, so I can't blame anything on the tires. :anonymous:

    you could save money by just convincing @LarryDangerfield to buy whatever you want next and then buying them after he's put like 1000 miles on and changing tires again lol
