Oh my, those look like hot garbage lol.   And they are bias-ply tires. No thank you for any modern truck run fast freeway speeds and can tow heavy weights.

100% correct, the tire brand that comes on the vehicle is not the same tire you would buy at a the store its been that way for a long time.

Michelin. I wouldn't buy them due to cost, tried a set, now well worth it.

Yep, had a friend comment on my Michelin's and said I wonder why they cost what they do? I replied "Because they are worth it."

How many miles is everyone getting on the factory tires? I have 23K right now and dont think they will make it to 30K. I have used Cooper At3 on previous truck so will probably go with that as I pull a 12K 5th wheel and occasionally get into some muddy conditions and of course snow in upstate NY.

Only saw one post that runs a true snow tire. For those that live in the north, do you run one tire all year?

 

My truck came with BFG KO3’s which has the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol but do not want to run them during winter. They may be ok but I don’t want to chance it on class 4 unmaintained roads during hunting season and winter. Hakkapeliitta LT3’s will be on separate wheels by October. Had them on my last truck and feel that they are the best snow tire. KO3’s will be on mid-April through mid-October.

Live in Alaska, drive a lot of miles and only run one set of tires all year long.  No issues, seems as though most that receive the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol are more than capable.

I have a 2500 RAM company truck that came new with Nexens and I got 60k out of them before replacing as they began to suck on wet roads. I went with the Cooper AT3's and now have 25k on them so far and I like them other than rocks that get stuck between the treads once getting back on paved roads. I'm on caliche base road beds fairly often.

I just installed new Sumitomo AT tires a few weeks ago. Did a 500 mile roadtrip, pretty pleased with the quiet smooth ride.

 

If you're looking for an AT tire, these are tied with BFG KO and Toyo AT3 for best in category on Tire Rack. They're significantly cheaper. I got my 265/70/18s for $171 each, plus shipping, from Discount Tire Zone. All-in price was $768 delivered.

It's a Japanese company that also includes Dunlop & Falken. My tires were manufactured in Thailand.

Think I'll go with the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W when it's time.  LT all terrain tire with a 60k warranty, snow peak rated.  Hard to beat.  Probably jump up to a 285/65R20, diameter is at 34.8.

Many a good tire gets it's bad reputation from the OEM stock versions of it. The OEMs use cheaper quality rubber and a generally crappier tire to save a fortune. These tires will have the same name and look of their retail counterparts but perform as much as 50% less. Michelin Defenders get a bad rap from Super Duty guys as they are or were stock on those. Firestone Transforce AT, while being a crap retail tire, is flaming hot garbage in OEM form on Ram HDs.

 

If I was going to run a non-aggressive tire, the Defender LTX is king. The aggressive category belongs to Nitto and Toyo.

 

My 2017 2500HD came w/ them. I was not impressed w/ them being on my 2024. For an A/T or OOR tire, they look more like a steerer tire on a transport...

standard Michelins on HD trucks are phenomenal in the rain, not aggressive enough for dirt but highway and rain, they are superb

The name sounded familiar, but had to Google them to see what they looked like. I had a couple of sets of Gateway Mudders, 33s & 38s on my '82 K15 back in the day.

      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

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      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.
