UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Firestone in Riverton at 2158 W 12600 S, but always call and schedule an appointment. They tend to be booked up.

 

We got warned by a taco going the other way there were 2 girls in a Rav4 behind them going our way that were gonna need our help. About a mile down the road, they passed us going the other way on a bail out. Thankfully they turned around right before a hella slick hill that even gave our trucks some trouble.

And yeah, really funny how some people can be up to the mirrors in a snow bank and you get the "I'm fine. Thanks though!"

 

It’s been a shitshow here cuz people have no idea what they’re doing but just *have* to go out to see all the snow. It’s a CharlieFoxtrot for sure.

 

neat. What did they charge you?

 

Russ’s Alignment in SLC is the very best but you’ll have to wait a few weeks to get in.

 

Charlie FoxTrot....hahaha!

 

I’m getting ready to get some new tires anyone have any opinions on BFG Ko2’s or the Nitto terra Grappler G2 All terrain?

 

Folks around here tend not to have opinions about tire brands. Same with what type of motor to put in your engine.

Jk ... all things considered I like KO2s

 

I enjoy my Ko2s. Going to be getting my 3rd set come spring.

 

Normally I’d use the full term but once in a while I somehow manage to be nice and curb my sailors vocabulary.

 

Yeah, I understand. You never know who is sensitive and doesn't like explicit language. I'd thought it was cool and prefer the colorful language.

 

When my stock tires bit the dust I put on KO2s, but since I have 16" rims I could only get load range E, which dropped a couple MPG because they're heavier. They're much better for offroading, but not super great in the snow. Maybe better than some but not as good as actual winter tires. It's a tradeoff.

 

Falken Wildpeaks

 

ST Maxx have gotten me through a few things with less effort than my KO2 equipped wingman. But I'm not convinced the issue wasn't between the seat and the steering wheel. I will say mine rides better and is quieter on the highway than his given the exact same load range and tire size.

I think you'd be happy with either of your 2 options as well. Wildpeaks are another good one, but some complain their tire life isn't as good.

 

I kinda enjoy sailor language, but my vocabulary is fairly limited.

 

Toyo M/T’s FTW.

 

I"ll probably have to get a new set of tires by the end of the year. General no longer makes the A/T 2 in a 285/75-16 so I'll have to move to their new A/TX. which is just the upgraded version. Been running them on all our vehicles and can't complain about them at all.

They also save my wallet a little from the BFG's

 

They also have the red letters right?

Edit: NM, that's the X3

 

The weight of the X3 is what makes me not want to get those. they will kill the power of my truck even more.

 

Yeah #1stGenProblems. Honestly, even my 2nd gen really lets me know it doesn't like my 54 pound ST Maxx tires. But they drive through anything.
