Looking to go with a 295/70r18 on stock rims for my trailboss, I have it narrowed down to the MasterCraft cxt, MasterCraft mxt and Falkin at3w. Just looking for opinions and maybe pictures of them on our trucks.  Thanks guys

I would go with the falkins. I read a lot of good reviews, I would told you to add the Hankook dynapro  to you list but last time I checked the price had went up.

A member on here had some trouble with Mastercraft tires. He also had balancing issues with the falkens - or maybe that was another member. Either way, I would tend to get the higher end tire as opposed to cheaping out, especially while increasing size  (harder to balance).

 

Have you considered nitto ridge grapplers?

I work at a tire shop we sell mastercraft tires never had a problem with them the cxt  are a commercial style off road tire we sell a lot of them to ranchers there more rock resistant then the mud terrains.  The falkens are just an all terrain more mild tread then the mastercraft. The new cooper at3xlt is a good looking tire too. The Toyo open country ct is a good tire as well.

He went through 4 different sets and they all shook. His issue is a truck problem not a tire issue. 

I am also starting to have the same shake issue with my stock duratracs.

I recently went with Cooper at3 xlt's on my sierra 265/70r18, E rated. Made in USA, really nice tire. Originally wanted the falkens, but they weren't available in the size I wanted, also made overseas.

I'm almost positive the issue was fixed with different tires. May be wrong. There's been a few cases of this on here now

I just went with a set of Falkens (275/70/18) and I'm happy so far. Seems like a good do-it-all tire. Aggressive enough w/o being an MT tire. I can't speak for snow performance (yet), but I had a set on my Grand Cherokee and they did quite well in the Northeast.

Anyone having issues with inner fender rubbing?

l’m getting ready to purchase a new set for my 2019 TrailBoss. Want to go with a 70 series tire in the 235-275 width. Mainly on road driving.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
