    Ok, so the Toyo Open Country A30s that she came stock with have made it 5 1/2 years. Not too shabby - they’re officially the longest-lasting factory tire I’ve ever had on a vehicle.

    Now comes replacements…another set of Toyos. This time, though Open Country AT3s.

    F502919B-8F2E-4734-89C0-1BAAFBAEBF30.jpg

    They get here next week.

    Can’t wait to see them on!

    They’re more than twice as bright as my wife’s Prius original halogens, and a tiny bit brighter than my HIDs. The other benefit I’ve seen from them is clarity - the light spreads a little wider, a lot farther, and much more evenly, and everything within its throw is clearly illuminated.

    They’ve saved two toads so far, and that’s important to her. Toads are cool.

    Howdy Bill!

    My tires are here but I have to wait until Sunday to get them installed.

    I hate waiting.

    So I just did my front brakes. 38K miles, almost all city driving. Put the Bosch pads on - they slid right in (once I got the pistons depressed).

    Amazon knows me, suggested it, and I couldn’t resist.

    Thanks Bob’s Mirrors - this thing is great!

    Could not have been easier to install, even with the crap I had to go through to reattach the dash cam.

    Well fuck.

    2BC36270-6030-432A-8954-14F0D9B3A394.jpg

    Hit something hidden in a pothole and went from 35 psi to flat in 3 seconds.

    Can’t get a replacement Toyo Open Country AT3, but since I got the tires through Sam’s and paid for the super good extra warranty I can get Cooper Discoverer AT3s for $80.

    This time I will be getting white letters, and they are by all means facing out.

    Merry Christmas to me.

    I went to get a rotate and balance to find one of the tires was cracked and needed to be replaced. No replacements available nationwide for any 285/75-17 BFG KO2.

    That sucks. Their web site is showing a ton of tires (literally) out of stock. That is, unless I want some Indonesian specials.

    Pass.

    Coopers order, white letters confirmed. This was meant to be.
