I've been looking at getting some new tires for my lifted Chevy. Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

It don't need them but I want to go up in size from 37x12.50 to a 38 x 13.50 x20. They are also on a 4-8 week national backorder.

I saw them at Discount tire a month ago for $437 each. I looked again yesterday and now they are now $532 each.

Looking down the street at Big O they are $ 442. They were $436 a few weeks ago.

I'm heading to Big O to get them ordered today so I get them by May . What a bunch of B.S.

It's not only tires it's everything. You name it , it's gone up in price.

I've been buying tires at Discount for as long as I can remember but them raising the price by that much pretty much lets me give them the middle finger.[emoji867]

The money I save pays for the body lift

Diesel has gone up 50 cents a gallon in the past couple weeks. The price has been unchanged for the last two years. It’s only the start of prices to rise on everything.
My middle finger goes to Joe Biden.

Gas shot up here about forty cents then has pulled back a bit.

Pricing fluctuates on NEED and/or GREED.

Tires jumping a hundy....yea...GREED.

92 gas is 3.39 a gallon where i live, BB(before biden) it was 2.69.

I can buy 92 at costco for 2.74 a gallon, that is quite a savings....

Blaming tire prices and gas prices on a guy that has been in office for 48 days is mental gymnastics that I can never believe.

Watch any of Joe's recent interviews and it's apparent that the White House is nothing more than a memory care unit, meanwhile the inmates are running the asylum. Sad for Joe, and even sadder for the country. I'm worried, really, really worried for my children and grandchildren.

There are several factors currently happening. The Texas freeze had a major impact on prices with many production sites shutting down. Now with businesses reopening there is also more demand which affects prices. Couple all that with President Biden killing the US/Canada pipeline project which was helping drive oil prices down. These have a direct impact on oil prices which affects everything, especially products made from petroleum, like tires.

I understand that petroleum has a lot to do with tire production but almost $100 a tire increase?
Why hasn't Big O raised theirs then? As I said before, Discount Tire can F.O.

Also I wouldnt blame just biden, I'm blaming the democrats as a whole.

ha... don't even think of buying gas in canada... not that you can cross the border right now anyways!

 

'regular' gas (87 octane) is currently at $1.309 per LITRE!!!

 

there's 3.78541 l/us gal...so that's a measly $4.955 per gal

 

welcome to canada!

Storms and demand are normal causes for price movement. Closing an unfinished pipeline is speculation aka greed and poly-tick-el pressure

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
