Was he referring to the at3w's or other older versions of falkens? What did he offer as an alternative to the at3w's if he doesn't think they'll last 10k?

 

I'm getting new wheels and tires next month and at3w's were my choice. My dad has then in his f150 and likes them, my second choice is the Cooper atp/at3 which is tried and true.

He said they'll last more than 10k miles... But you'll lose wet/snow performance because he claimed you'll start losing the sips. On the Falken at/3

Went with the 275/70/18 exo... Really wanted to try the 285/70/18 but quite a be more money. Overall 275 size is perfect how I use the truck.. Wanted to keep a lil fuel economy too :)

Picked up Exo Grapplers today... Have not mounted yet.. They look great in person.. My only concern is... The sipping looks to utilize only half the lug.. The sips don't appear to use the whole lug only half? So as the tire wears the sipping is gone... Hopefully I'm wrong.

To answer my question.. It appears the side lugs with siping will eventually wear off.. But the sipes in the lugs will stay with lifetime of lug.

Still haven't mounted tires... I found this on one of the tires.. Should I be concerned?

can any one of you guys that put on the Exo grapplers give an update on how the tires are doing? I had Ridge grapplers for a very short time on my last truck (liked the tires a lot) but am considering the Exo grappler for my new rig. I like the fact that the Exo claim to be more for heavy duty trucks and I'll be towing a camper regularly. The tread depth is also over 2/32 more than the Ridge grappler from new. Thanks in advance

on the fence between the Nitto Exo grappler and Toyo Open country At II in 275/60/20

My only advice would be to examine the 2 tires that you're considering. I only say that because the Toyo is a quiet long lasting tire, while the Exo is more aggressive and quite loud by all the reports that I have read. I have no experience with the Exos but I do with the Toyos. The Toyos are a little too street tire looking for my tastes but many on here prefer them to the BFG ATKO2. The BFG would be my suggestion given your search criteria. If you want one that's more aggressive I would advise the Ridge Grappler.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
