Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

I see it

 

So I've decided against MTs. I will stick to ATs and keep my stock tires which are great on the street (ok off-road) and are pretty new. Although I want some 285/75/16s, I see no point in upgrading to them until these 265/75/16s wear out.

 

Which tires are you looking at getting?

 

Stop supporting him. You are breaking the Tranny/Street Queen code.

 

I really wanted Kenda Klever KR29. Then I thought about the noise and gas mileage hit.

Then I looked at KO and KO2. I currently have some Rugged Terrains which have been out at Hidden Falls and did ok in the dry.

Biggest problem is I can only regear to 4.10...I'm afraid the truck will be pretty slow with the 32.9s and 4.10s lol.

 

Damnit dennis I was the was saying I wanted to do a beach run now ur having it on the 21st when I'm not here

 

What the fuck is a Kenda Klever? Never heard of such.

 

Whoops

Never had good luck with bfg at's I did like the terra grapplers I hd for a while. Not to heavy or loud, good sidewalls, wore great and did great on everything I ran them on except mud.

 

Bwhahahahaha

 

I remember my first planned child..lol congrats man!

No it's not..

I might be in

hey babe

Just go mud terrains and re gear to 4.56's

if I go back to 31's I'll probably regear to 4.10. Depending on how Jambo goes I might stick with 33's or go 35's and regear to 4.56's

 

Stay with 33s and go to 4.56

 

Sup girl 31's and 4.10's you'd be way over geared. 4.10's and 285's is spot on with stock iirc

 

Soooo, same shit different day? It's interesting with you. You keep being surprised at the scheduling.

And when you're not around, you are looked for, but then when you are here, it's "schedule the meets when he's out".

It's like everyone is psychotic...

 

Well we were just saying to have a beach run not this weekend but next since it was my last weekend but now it's the 21st so I guess forever alone

 

Lol we can do one next weekday

 

That's the day I have to head back to Lubbock, after spring break

 

This!! You coming out??

get all of beaumont to convoy over!!

 

A lot of people have never heard of Kenda unless they are cyclists. They make awesome MTB tires. They started shipping auto/truck tires to the USA a couple years ago and have since had really good reviews. The 285/75/16s used to be around 550 shipped, now the lowest I've found is 664 shipped for a set. Like anything else there are also bad reviews out there, a few had thread seperation, some of those ran them severely underinflated on the freeway and heated them up lol.

Here is a review with the pros and cons...

My BFGs were ok out at HF. It surprised me that they performed almost as good as the KOs, which I wasn't expecting. I'll look into those.

Seeing as how I cruise at 80+ on the interstate and have been using the truck more as a daily until I can get maintenance taken care of on my wagon I don't see the 4.56s being feasible. Current gas mileage is 16.5mpg with my lead food. If I drive normally it with spurts of being myself I get 19mpg.

Plus I don't have the options for regearing like you do currently.

What's your gas mileage like?

That's pretty much what I figured. Good to know someone with more experience thinks the same.
