Time for Tires again

[no-red 6 0]

cheese and rice bama-

you only drive from the house to the chicken coop to get eggs and back.........how did you rack up so many miles?

didn't you get them not too long before i got mine? mine: back mid 2006. i have 23,200 on mine and as i said prolly about a little less than 1/2 life left.

maybe you have some abrasive dirt down where you live....

I drive more than just across the back yard, I bought the NITTO's back in May of 2007

Bama, that's what I am riding on now and have gotten 40K+ out of them so far. Not a bad tire but they have high and low spots on all of them. I am thinking my truck could ride better I considered getting them trued but what's the point now. I think I will go with different ones next time. (Toyos) The traction has been good through all kinds of weather though. They have been rotated regularly and balanced several times but it does not help the vibration above 70mph. Some of the way it rides might have to do with the lift.

Thanks J, they look good on your truck.

They should be in sometime this week.

Just one word when it comes to tires - Toyo

If you do some reading about Coopers on the RV forums you will see that they are not recommended for hauling. I had a set but swapped them out when I got a slide in camper as some of the story's spooked me. Seems as though they separate under heavy use.

you need tires now cuz you got that little blue piece of paper in the mail! ask JLD what he recommends.

Crumm, I wont be doing any hauling.

Mine did fine empty and now they are on my 42'. No complaints about traction.

bought them new red, and yes, only about 18k on them.

Maybe I just drive to hard.

Lead foot.
