295/60/20’s are what I had on mine with those crappy Nitto Ridge Grapplers, KO2’s didn’t come in that size so I jumped on the 285/60/20’s. Should’ve given these a shot...... arrrrg!

See I told you to try somethin different. Well maybe the next set? Im looking at spring before I drop cash on a set. And I have a shop with a road force that balances correctly vs discount half a$$ balance.

I’ve got TIRE OCD, get new tires every year. In 2018 I switched tires 4 times cause I wasn’t happy with them. Defenders, KO2’s, Nitto Ridge Grapplers all due to size and comfort.
I’ve only truly been happy with KO’s, yeah, I know, I’ve got serious tire issues lol! I’d like to see just how long these new KO2’s will stay on my truck.

I wish I had your money. I’ve been wanting to bump up a size since the day I got my tires 4 years ago.  I’m running KO2’s and they are still decent at 40k miles.  I’m thinking about trying General Grabber ATX this time.

I’m in the environmental industry, I go OffRoad often, mostly for hog hunting. You’d be surprised at the ride quality of the General Tires as well as the OffRoad capabilities. If you’re not lifted or really into off-roading, I’d look at the APT, less expensive and great reviews.

You can get a set of 275/60/20’out the door for about $750, with a 60K mile warranty from General

I’m off road a good bit. Where I go camping/hunting/fishing, there like 3 paved roads in the entire county.  Plus it’s my winter daily and trip vehicle so snow traction is extremely important.

I noticed they are much better price than KO2’s and they look similar.

I live in South Texas, we really don’t get any snow, mostly rain. I really don’t keep tires long enough but I’ve heard that all AT tires lose their snow capabilities every year of driving on them, dedicated snow/winter tires are what I’ve seen people do on the forums, switching back and forth, getting much better life out of their tires too. I’ve even heard of the Wildpeak AT3’s getting great reviews in the snow too and they’re lower priced as well.

I like the wildpeaks, but I don’t think they’re P rated in my size.  I have noticed the KO2’s aren’t quite as good as they used to be in snow.  I’m not really inclined to run 2 sets of tires, I’d rather just replace 1 set more often.  It’s better for off-road as well to have newer tread.  Plus I don’t put a lot of miles on my truck in the summer, I don’t daily drive it March-October.

I like them. Quiet, ride nice, and work well in the snow (packed) and haven’t been in snow over 16” yet.

 

I have towed in some sloppy mud with 8k+ behind me without any issues.

Btw, yesterday I stopped at the light and I immediately noticed a very nice set of tires on a Silverado, they were the Discover ATP’s, very nice looking tires.

      Actual Full Screen CarPlay on Refreshed Silverado/Sierras.

      By fourhorses88 · Posted

      I have ordered the car link adapter and registered for the google dev, will need to finish verification process later this evening when I get ahold of our kiddos android tablet. I will be using windows vs mac so hopefully it goes smoothly. I have zero tech background but I feel I can manage this with your write up.    Do you think it will be different for me? My truck is a 2023 GMC 1500, I have looked heavily into the AI boxes but I consistently find common complaints with lag.    Does carplay auto open now that you have it set up when you get in truck and turn it on? Or do you have to do open the app everytime?

      It added a cost layer to an already limited production supply. True that.

      Gas Prices

      Swap costs and supply/demand balance. When a barrel comes out of the ground the entire range of products are present but not all at the same percentage.    Breakdown of Refined Products The following table summarizes the approximate output from a standard 42-gallon barrel of crude oil: Product Type Gallons per Barrel Percentage of Total Gasoline 20 gallons 45% Diesel Fuel 9 gallons 21% Other Products 13 gallons 31%   Most of that diesel figure is 'straight run' or cut from the barrel. Gasoline 'cut from the barrel runs 0 to 20% at the crude. So in the crude unit there is more diesel the gasoline, usually.  The full refining experience however gives the tabled values. Ego there is half the diesel than gasoline after the 'first crack' That could be an FCC unit, or Isomax or....   Those units take heavy products and break the big ones into little ones. Those numbers are harder to get hold of but directionally it ends up the same.    Really light products are very profitable. Ethylene and Propylene to name two. Those are cracked from slightly heavier feeds like NG and Propane and Ethane. The cracker harshness determines the feed for distillation. Those feeds come from less profitable products like diesel and gasoline.    So...there is a swap cost. How much market is there TODAY and what crude am I running TODAY..... what is my process capable of always.    There is this as well. The USA uses allot more gasoline than it does diesel so in the cracker the process is tilted to gasoline production which....limits supply of diesel. OTR uses the most and it has different requirements than automotive and agricultural.  Limiting auto products.    You are correct however. It is less refined, just less of it. Allot less.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.
