Treadwright GB?

what year are the casings they gave you? IIRC they cant use anything older than 05

 

Not sure, i will look the next time i am under the truck, my date codes are facing in on these and i just changed to go home so im not crawling under there tonight. But i will def check as i am now wondering the same thing.

 

Group buy still on?

 

We have to wait until after Dec. to see that the deal is with the group buy.

Even if we only save $5 a tire, I want this to happen.

 

If this happens may have to get an extra for a spare. Just tested my 4 new Gaurd Dog MTs on a 200 mile trip to school and they work great. Not the best on road tire but thats obviously not what they are meant for

 

OK, update time.

I talked to Treadwright today via email and had a few differences with the situation, nothing major, but in the end i told her i would make 1 final attempt with these back tires. WELL, come to find out, the machine i was using on Friday was F%*#ed up!!! I used a different machine (we have 3), calibrated it, made sure 100% it was on Static balance, and went to work. The 2 rears now came out to 4.5oz and 6.25oz. Mch much better and hopefully gonna be a better ride on my way home tonight.

 

GB??? Dang...go figure I find this thread a few days AFTER I ordered a set of tires, lol. Oh well. Takes 4-6 weeks though, sucks waiting that long.

 

SOOO much nicer on the ride home, now i have to redo the fronts AGAIN hopefully for the last time and all shall be good in the world!

Broken equipment is what happens when you work in a shop of 30 techs and only about 1/2 of them give a damn about where they work.

 

i hear ya. just overhauled all of our work benches and inventoried working tools for the same reason.

 

Might be interested in a set of 285/75-16 Wardens....Ive been thinking about stepping up to 285s for a while now. Anybody know the weight difference between a 285 retread and a regular 285? Im interesting in saving some MPGS if i do go up to 33s

 

4-6 lbs per tire depending on what tire you compare it to.

these are great off road tires, but definately not for you if you want to save fuel.

 

Just got my confirmation emal from treadwright saying my tires shipped out today and i got the goodyear sidewalls with kevlar i asked for

 

put a 1000 highway/interstate miles on mine traveling for thanksgiving. At this point, I'm strongly considering ditching the KM2s on my Tacoma and putting a set on it too. Handled better than the KM2, night and day better in rain and snow too. I'm pretty sold on them, aside from road noise. I can live with road noise though

 

yea i have 265 gaurd dogs on my dakota and love them...loud on the road but handle great...im going to 35's on my tacoma and am torn between km2's which i run now or switching to the much cheaper gaurd dogs....decisions.....i dont drive my tacoma daily any more but i do plan on driving cross country next year and i also travel up too 4hrs often one way to wheel at rausch...hmmmmmmmm

 

How long did it take from order to ship date?

 

2 weeks and 2 days and they told me 2-3 weeks when i placed the order

 

Tires came in today, now just need some snow to test them out

 

Wish they made 255/85

 

look what he got ^^^^^^
