Flat tire rant

I think we all bought a whole truck . I know I did .Define "salling".

 

Mine worked fine offroad.

But failed epically on-road. Some days it feels like Phoenix roads are boobytrapped.

 

ocbadfish sorry ment sailing like on down the river (get rid of)by what ever means necessary

 

Problem solved

 

for the cost of that, you can have some one come and change the tire a bunch of times. Yes it solves the problem, but may not be able to afford to travel to need it then.

 

FWIW, I got a screw in one of my tires within a month of getting the truck new. I took it to Discount Tire as they are near by. I bought the warrantee for the tires, cost me less than the repair would cost - they fixed it under the warrantee and now all are covered for 60,000 miles with road side service and replacement for unrepairable damage. Best $38 I ever spent

 

Think that's just an $80 hi lift? Not real expensive

 

If you can wait - twice a year Discount Tire & eBay do a killer promo on tires where eBay adds a $100 rebate to DTs rebates with free ship no tax on a bunch of brands sizes etc. I picked up a set of Cooper AT3s for under 400 bucks! Look under Deals & Coupons someone always posts it up looking out for TW's brothers & sisters! Helping us save monies

 

So you buy from ebay and they ship to a DT for free install? How does that work? Will probably be in the market for new rubber next year...on track for 40k miles by year 2

 

the sliders as well

 

Ah si senor

 

Am I looking at that right....do you have a factory rail mount on the front of your bed behind the cab?

 

Pretty sure it's common for folks to add them from 2nd gen...they fit right up

 

Ah I see

 

Maybe it's because you are on a TOYOTA tacoma forum......!! and people who are here bought a TOYOTA because they love it.

I don't bash on people who buy dodge or ford or whatever, that's their choice! If you don't like toyota, why did you bought one?

 

arnete64 Having problems with dealership and corp, just want it fixed and move on. Not bashing referring to people making comments about owners who are having problems.

 

Well OP, you at least were accurate with your thread title. More than can be said for many threads.

Bet you didn't expect so many electrons to be killed over such a mundane topic did you?

 

You know whats funny i also have sliders and a high lift, i got a flat last week (still waiting for my free replacement to come in at the dealer) and i didnt bother, i used the factory jack to replace the tire! Haha

 

I have no DT near me so they got shipped to my house for free & paid Toyota $75 to dismount, mount & balance my new tires. I had a coupon for a 4 wheel alignment I used. The adjusting bolts of course were frozen due to being dry & road salt . They managed to get them free so I could get the alignment thankfully.
The deal is awesome imo. If I got Coopers AT3s 265 75 16s it would have been $386 shipped including all rebates. I bought 265 70 16s. So it was 408 just a tick under 500 including the mounting. Look in that section they have one spring & fall.
