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.

I was joking. Some of us had those and the super swampers back on our old trucks in highschool and just out.

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 ATX A/T 2

This is what I have now for stockers. Had them on my last truck stock too. Have always been good.

I just put on a set of the new Michelin LTX Platinums in 295/65/20.  So far the nicest riding, quitest tire I've ever had on an HD truck.

Looks like a good tire for good weather but they don’t look good for snow.

This tire would also be on my list.

I didn’t see where the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum were snow rated. Rare that a snow tire lasts 70000 miles due to a softer compound. 
 

Hakkapeliitta LT3 studded for winter, mid-October to mid-April. First time with studs. OEM BFG KO3’s for the other time of the year.

I went with Cooper Rugged Trek, great so far.  Much quieter than expected, hardly any change from factory.  Interesting how details the siping shows up in the snow, excellent traction so far.

@CRApex They are listed as an All Season tire. Not sure where you live but hope they work out for you. You'll have to post how they do in the snow.

 

I would run that tire for 6 months of the year.

 

A couple of GMC 1500's ago came with Goodyear Wrangler SRA's. I bought the truck at the beginning of January. Tires were all season which GM charged $200 on the sticker as an AT tires. I hated those tires for the remaining months of winter, I had to run Auto or 4wd High most of the time with any amount of snow. Tires were good for summer. Ran an AT tire after that for 6 months and dedicated snow tires for 6 months.

I really can't see how they can call the Firestone Transforce ATs an all terrain tire either. Sketchy in some snow conditions here in Ontario.

They have M+S on the sidewall, but no winter/snow icon

@rjgvt I'll be sure to provide an update once it snows, I'm in MN by the way so shouldn't be too long.  I'm really hoping they do ok because they ride super nice and virtually no road noise.  If they struggle, I'll be back to the Toyo AT3 Open Country.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
