New England B.S. Thread

Who has or has had either of these tires? Im looking for tread life and snow capability. I have mickey thompson baja claw TTC's right now and the tread life has disapointed me somewhat. I know mickey T makes a softer lug so i would like to stay clear from them for my next set. Im looking at 315/75/16.

 

No experience personally with either, but we sell the Fierce, and everything I've heard about them is
Deep snow-Awesome!
Packed snow- Scary!
Ice-Dead!

 

^ Haha thanks for being so blunt.

 

I don't have any holes. But there is separation and rust. I'm going to do my best job of trying to convince them to replace it.


Alex
I'd go with the college education if I was you. 100k might sound good but it's not a lot of money . think long term. Do people dive till they're 65 ?

 

My grandparents dove well into their 60's until my grandfather's Alzheimer's started showing up. She would still be diving if he was sane.

And as much as I would like to get a degree, there's nothing I really want to do. I want to own a business, but I don't know what I wanna do! No sense wasting money on 3 more years of school

 

I disagree with this sentence.... Just out of curiosity what type of diving? Like what are you diving for?

 

Sorry Alex, mis-read. I still think it's worth while to finish school and get a degree. I understand diving being a hobby, and you can continue that, but rarely do hobbies turn into viable careers. If it does happen, great but if not then you'll at least have a good job to fund your hobby.

 

Well my whole family feels going to Ulowell is a horrible idea, so fuck it. I don't give a fuck.

Underwater welding, recovery, maintenance, deep sea diving for oil rigs in the gulf. Working in the gulf on a deep sea rig can pay upwards of $1,000 a day and you only work half the year.

I have the skills for diving, and am currently an advanced open water diver with over 150 dives logged.

Fact of the matter is, I have 1 semester worth of credits, for 4 semesters of school.

 

I wanted to go to ulowell but no one in my family is backing me

 

Why aren't they backing you? Do they disagree with your proposed major (what was your major going to be anyways, I forgot)? Regardless, this is a decision that YOU will have to live with for the rest of your life. As much as you may value family input, this is not their decision. You're an adult and this decision will most closely impact you.

 

I don't know what I want to do in business. I want to run a business, but WHAT? I don't know.

 

You still live at home and from what I read and can tell you take care of most of your family correct? And if you go to ULowwel you'd be living there correct?

 

And I don't want to go $120k in debt for school.

 

Yes

 

I'm still on the fence. I really don't know

 

What is it about ULowell you don't like?

 

UMass Lowell should be under $100k for 4 years assuming you don't pay anything along the way. Room, board, fees and tuition is under $25k/year. It's good debt also, if the degree is worth it, you'll have a good paying job so that debt would go away quickly.

 

They stopped doing this a while ago. Brought my 2001 in in Nov. They had it until mid-Dec. New frame and goodies. Was going to drive that fucker into the ground. Then...had to sell it all! ugh.
Upgraded to a DC.

 

State school. If you go Deck or Engine you will be virtually guaranteed a job. A couple of my buddys graduated this summer and are already making some big money.

Lol I love ULowell. My family is talking about debt and interest and I want to get my degree, then go to diving school. I think that's what I'm going to do
