Goodyear trailrunners had to go. Though they have decent road manners I do take my truck off road during hunting season and whenever I am chasing firewood scores. I decided on the Firestone Destination X/T in stock size LT275 65R20. These are a hybrid tread with the three-peak mountain snowflake designation. They weigh 52 lbs a piece which is only 2 lbs heavier than the GY's. Tread depth is 16/32 vs 12/32 for the GY's.

 

On road hwy driving they are only slightly louder. They handle well around town and at parking lot speeds. No rain currently so I'll have to wait and see how they do. Limited off road use they did well. The below picture of the truck I backed up the hill in 2wd, no spin what so ever. Made in Canada but the tread spells out USA!

Nice looking rubber;  I almost wish that I would have went with those instead of the Nexen MTX ....................RR

It must be the OP that’s posted on various YouTube videos about these tires and seeing USA in the treads. I can’t see that no matter how hard I don’t try.

 

That being said, it’s good to see feedback about these tires on heavier trucks. I really like the tread & sidewall pattern as well as snow traction reviews, but am a bit concerned about their light weight compared to other tires and how that may impact their strength.

No you tube videos for me. As for the USA you have look at the tread sideways to see it. If you look from the wheel looking into the wheel well after the shoulder blocks the first tread red block resembles a u, they center one resembles an S, and the next one resembles an A. 

 

I currently don't have any worries about them being lightweight, that was one of the big selling points for me. 3750# carrying capacity and fifty thousand mile tread warranty which is the same or better rating and some tires weighing 14 lb more a piece. Time will tell I guess, only have a thousand miles on them currently.

I have these tires and have 31k miles on them.  I will be getting most likely 45 to 50k out of them.  They ride well, stability with my TT is just fine while towing, seem to be wearing great.  I most likely will be getting them again.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
