Do the terra G2's have a tread life warranty? I am positive the Trail Grapplers do not which was a big downside for me and turned me away from them. I liked the Trails look better than Terra's but not sure I seen the G2's, got a pic? Also are they M+S (should be but the Mountain snowflake is better apparently)?

 

I am still learning a lot about tires, coming from a person who just thought tires were tires a year ago and mostly had cars to now understanding tires mean a whole lot and can change things a lot. Really there is so much and so many choices/style/brands it hard to compare evenly and even a bit maddening, which is why I like Pro Comps since I am looking at a lift/wheel/tire package and they do all 3 with great warranties which is very appealing to me. Plus I prefer made in USA even though I am Canadian!

The warranty on my size is 45k miles. They are not snow rated but my guy here (who has the same setup) said they do well in the snow. As far as looks they are a more muted look but they ride really well on the highway so there is some give and take. I think the Toyo RT look more aggressive even.

Unfortunately 'some dude assesment of yeah they do well in snow' will not pass muster with the police who actually do checkstops in my area for snow tires in the winter. Every year a couple idiots go flying off the side of a mountain so they kind of have to. Need to have m+s or the mountain with snowflake or they pull you off the road. So I am stuck with a good AWT/AT style or swapping tires 2x per year which I am not into :(

Yeah we don't have to have a snowflake, I wish we did!

 

I know the Duratrac and the BFG All Terrain T/A KO2 have the snowflake. The KO2 are the ones I almost went with, well priced on TireRack.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
