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.

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.

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.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      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.

      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
