My buddy has Deegan 38's in a 35 on his Ram 1500. They perform really well. Have a howl to them, but grab just as good as my Toyos

Been hearing more and more about these tires the last few months. So far I've read nothing but positives about them. Looking forward to your opinion of them.

I've heard nothing but good about them, was told they have a hum to them but aren't near as bad as you'd think they would be and are better than most MTs.

Project Solaris has them and he loves them, hoping I feel the same!

I noticed that once I had a few hundred miles on my R/T's and rotated them they quieted down a little bit. My advice would be to rotate your tires at the 500 or 1000 mile mark when you go back to have the torque check on your lift.

What did you paint?

The pillars. Made them black to go with the rest of the interior. Doing the rest of the pillars in the next week and eventually I want to make the headliner black and colormatch anything on the roof that is hard plastic

Rims finally shipped Yesterday, arriving on Tuesday but so bitter sweet that I'll be out of town from this Saturday till next [emoji35]

I'll be calling the shop tomorrow hopefully and making an appointment for one of the first days I'm back home to get everything put in.

 

Also I got a chance tonight to finish painting the pillars. Waiting for them to dry so I can do another coat right now

Neither(:

Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s (in a 35x12.5x20 size. 38 is not the size, just part of the model.) It's a MTZ-ATZ hybrid

Yeah i knew of the Deegan 38s, i thought they were strictly MTZ. They look great, more aggressive than the ATZp3.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
