BedRug-CoverMaster/Bridgestone Dueler/Siping

colosilverado · January 20, 2002

Here are a few pics of the siped Bridgestone Dueler AT's for those who haven't seen them yet. Also, I put a few pics of the Bed Rug/CoverMaster topper combo that I have on/in the back.

How much did you get the tires for if you don't mind me asking?

Shaners · January 21, 2002

You have to love the bedrug and carpeted cap. Mine is the same except I have a Leer cap. I sleep in mine too...

Arick, the tires were $600 even with the siping, mounting/balancing through Peerless Tires. I was wishing they would have made the Duelers in 255/85R16, but they don't

Shaners,

These Bed Rugs are great, that's for sure! I just like the fact that when I have the truck packed and there's something in the back that I need to get to, my knees don't kill me. I have made a few messes in it already, and it has been easy to clean. I'm glad you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Did you carpet your Leer, too. I assume that you did.........

Shaners · January 21, 2002

I ordered my Leer with the carpeted headliner already installed. I think it was about $100 or so...

Lookin' good. Whereabouts in Colorado?

colosilverado · January 21, 2002

Northern Colorado...Loveland. About 50 miles north of Denver, up against the rockies. 60 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. How far are you from Cheyenne, Dig-u?

Shaners..I did mine the same way as you did. Had it done from the factory for $100 extra. Of course that meant having to order it, but I was willing to wait. I wish we had a Leer dealer around here, but I was too lazy to go to Denver. I hadn't heard of CoverMaster before, but they looked like they were pretty decent. I have beat on it pretty hard-the topper ;) during my hunting trips, and 4 wheeling. It has held up fine. It actually put a dent in the back of my cab from flexing, but it didn't get dinged. How sad is that? If I could fit a CC in my garage, I'd seriously look at getting one. Maybe if I fitted one with remote start, I wouldn't care as much about garaging it.

Diguout. Holy crap, I guess I hadn't ever looked at your pics before. Nice transformation of your truck! There are just too many sweet looking rides on this board

thats a pretty high price for those tires dang. I can get them around here for 430 installed ballenced and everything.

You should see the price of housing out here! It doesn't take much to make a $200k house, I'll tell you that.

Is that a local place that you can get those tires for that cheap, or is it a chain? Sounds like a good deal to me. I would loved to have been able to save $200..........

Arick · January 22, 2002

It is a Chain store.

Also I had a question for ya. What does the sipping do for performance and does it cost extra?

colosilverado · January 23, 2002

Siping is supposed to improve traction, and increase wear by keeping the tire cooler. It also is supposed to reduce noise by breaking up the lugs a little.

It is $10 a tire, typically.
