the sr-a's I haven't noticed being too horrible in the snow as long as I'm in 4wd (auto). wet pavement though dang. but overall I agree, not exactly confidence inspiring to say the least.

 

the bfg's look badass on that truck. it will be interesting to hear when he chimes back in on how they ride/noise.

I can't find any mud in the parking lot of my local mall.

No rubbing at all. I do have a 2" leveling kit on the front. The ride is great, a little noise over the SR-A's, but I was expecting that. I will let you know about the mud after this weekend, headed to the hunting camp tomorrow.

thanks for the info and good luck hunting.

i didnt do so well this year, we didnt apply for the doe tags this season because everyone in my group said they just couldnt make it so we missed the draw... then all of a sudden everyones schedule just opened up but all we had were buck tags(and a lot of them...).

had a big moose, 3 big does and a fawn walk right by us.....

 

theres always next season i guess...

i was surprised how well my stock 17" tires did in the mud...snow and ice not so well...

love the look. I have the stock 275/55 ... what is the difference on the 275/60 ? Just wider? or taller as well?

Tire readings.....AAA/BB/CC.......AAA is the width of the tires in MM...BB is the % (ratio) of the width which equals the height of the sidewall....CC is the rim diameter.

 

So for ease of calculation we'll go with 300/50/20...The tire is 300MM's wide, the sidewall height is 150MM's tall (50% of 300) and the rim diameter is 20".

 

275/55 is 275MM's wide, and the side wall is (55% of 275) 151.25 MM's wide. 275/60 is 275MM's wide, and the side wall is 165MM's wide. So the 275/60's are 27.5MM's taller or just over 1" taller.

Do you think the 275/60/20 fit without rubbing no level on truck just stock?

Been using bfg ko's on my trucks for the last two decades, never one flat or tire problem other then them wearing out after 50+ thousand miles and years of abuse. I simply do not have the need to shop any other truck tire brand imo.

looks really nice. new design is cool. I personally however like the original KOs better. with white letters out.

 

im going to try and get that 285/65 on mine. which is like 34.4x11.5 on a 4" lift

I am interested to hear how these handle not just snow but cold...they look awesome.

 

I respect the tire compound and sipe design of a dedicated snow set up is the best and we run that on our AWD RX350 my wife drives. I am looking for something in the better category of the good-better-best continuum negating my need to run a dedicated snow setup. On the few cold days we have had thus far (-18ish Celsius) the SRA does not make the good ranking.

Looks good. How much did they run you?

 

Looks like the sidewall finally got a new look. Looks really mean.

I just ordered a set today. They will be at my local tire shop on Monday and they will be installed next Saturday morning. Lots of early snow up here in Canada and it's like a zoo at any tire store you go to, huge line ups everywhere. :cheers:

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
