Keep getting flats on stock tires

Just a quick question have you thought about trading the truck in for a good horse? I’m sure it would get less flats probably even better gas mileage plus his shifting would be better and his frame probably won’t rust out.

 

Have you ever gone 300 miles in a vehicle with 1 horsepower? Also… is rust still an issue!

 

I know they’re aren’t KO2’s, but with my E load Grabbers I averaged 23-24 MPGs on my last road trip. Just throwin’ it out there for the OP’s consideration.

Im not saying Grabbers are better, just that you can still get good MPGs with E rated tires.

 

I'm not going to read all responses. But I will say that E tires are not a cure all. I recently had a spear shaped rock (1.5" exposed, .5" at the tip, 2" long) imbed itself in the dead center of my E tire and cause it to go flat. Rock was still wedged in when I took it in to get fixed. My driving is on forest service roads.
A higher range tire will reduce the frequency, but you can still puncture them .
Your best bet would be to upgrade your tires a bit and build & carry a repair kit with plugs and a compressor. I personally suggest building an on-board air system with a quick connect at the back bumper (can fill tires on truck and trailer). This will allow you to reduce pressure off-road and the refill before you get on the road.

 

once I upgrade to C or E load, air down, and also inspect all my trails for sharp ground cover, I’ll be in good shape - super helpful thanks everyone

 

100% agree with all this.

 

I’m thinking to get the ARB compressor that I can bolt down into the engine bay.
