New England B.S. Thread

Oh ok cool. Thanks for the heads up

 

Got one of these bad boys for work. I like the logic compared to the Blu. It gives you a warm vapor, similar to cigarettes. The Blu you can't feel, and I don't like that.

 

Those look good. The ms2's are definitely awesome on ice. Those Coopers look awesome though.

 

I want to do some snow wheeling!

What tire pressure are you using? Also what kind of lift do you have? Mine don't rub unless I hit a corner too fast.

 

In my signature for the lift. Honestly I don't know about the psi. Dealer did not say and I was in a rush to leave. I am sure I will need to fiddle with the pressure. At half tread the siping is hardly there.

 

Thanks for the clue. I need to check it out today.

This is the add that sold me.
"Set of 4 Cooper Discover ST MAXX for $300 at half tread."

Jason, I am not sure what you paid for yours new but the best I saw online was around $1150. I could test 285's for that price.

 

Ha haha haha. What a great day.

 

No siping? No wonder they suck on ice. Right now they're basically just a big smooth MT tire. I bet if you had them resiped that you'd notice a big difference. Congrats on the tires, though. Looks like you got a hell of a deal!

 

OK I'll say it, I was a bit embarrassed. I have made that one before.

Lol. Youre crazy rob. I hate driving in deep water.

 

Me too. I'm always like "Oh god, is my air intake still above water? I'm going to have to swap all my fluids when I get home. Was that a rock I just hit? Jesus, I hope it didn't damage anything! Oh no, I hope that the block doesn't get thermal shock and crack! Man, I hope that the seals on my electronics are all still weathertight ..." the entire time I'm crossing deep water.


On a side note: WOO-HOO!!

 

Easiest way to figure it out is don't wash your truck . Let it rub then look for the plastic that is clean.

6"-12"

 

There is actual siping that you just can't see in the photo. The ms2 I had on were designed with a hell of a lot more. I didn't realize shops could re sipe a tire. I will research that.

 

I started loosing faith when the 5th and 6th rip pull didnt even budge you.

 

I know that Discount Tire used to do it, and Stratham tire if there's one of those close to you, but lots of local shops have the siping tool as well. I had a local garage cut sipes in a set of Super Swamper's I had on a Nissan Hardbody back in the day, because the first time I took it out in the snow with those on it I nearly ditched it twice. Sipes made all the different in the world.

Edit: I just checked, there's no discount tire stores in New England. Who was I thinking of instead? Maybe Tire Warehouse?

 

I bought mine from here: http://www.treaddepot.com/tire/90000003095.html

 

Brr

 

And I have to work on valentines day. Never getting laid again.

 

I have to work this and pretty much every Friday unless it's a holiday... not getting any sympathy from me

 

I gotta work V day too. Except i work as a bouncer at a bar on the weekends so that sucks twice as bad. So to make the girlfriend happy i have to go out tomorrow night instead.
