Be careful of these tires.

Damn is that yours?

 

Yep.

Rear left at 75. No harm done though, other than my credit card for four new Michelin LT M/S.

Glad your OK and no major damage done. IMO, stocks always suck. Seems like they throw on cheapos just to make an extra dime, thats why I upgraded to BFG ATs as soon as I had some extra cash. Did not feel good on the OEMs and had that bubble on one of them too (no tire expert but that can't be good).

Damn..... check your tires guys before you head out on any major trip.... some people think I am anal about tires, but frankly the safety risks and potential consequences really scare the crap out of me. Sometimes tires get damaged by overloading or by sidewall impacts, BUT sometimes they just do not stand up to normal service use/wear.

 

We can debate brands all day long, but bottom line is a good tire shop is willing to look at your tires and give an opinion... if you don't like the opinion, then get two more elsewhere. When you have 2.5 to 3 tons of truck (6 tons with a loaded trailer) going down the road you want to be able to steer and stop safely... and you do not want a blowout.

 

obtw... I am happy with my TOYO OPEN COUNTRY AT's ... they give me some peace of mind when I am rolling down the road at highway speeds.

I hated my Ameritracs they cam on my 07. When they wore out I had Firestone Destinations put on. 1800mi later I bought a new truck and made them put my firestones on that and put the Americraps on the 07 I was trading.

Wow, Glad your ok. Must have scared the crap out of you. Were you carrying anything at the time? I've never liked Goodyear Tires Period! I had a set on my old Supra and hated them then never bought Goodyear's since.

 

Hankook and Uniroyal are the ones I usually choose!

John,

Sorry for your bad luck. Nice that you're ok and the truck didn't look hurt either.

 

I have the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S on my little 1500. Not real comfortable with them for off-road use, but didn't think I'd have a road problem. My next tires for the 1500 will be E rated for their puncture resistance.

 

Keep those tires inflated properly and within their load ratings out there. :thumbs:

I'm glad that you're okay there. That would have been scary at 75. I had Goodyear Long Trails on my '97 and never had an issue with them. They weren't the best tire, but never had a problem with any of them.

I have these exact tires on my truck now with 25K and they are doing good. I also had them on an 03 Z71 Tahoe and put 60k miles on them and were going strong when I traded it in. But everything has defects every so often. Glad you and your truck are ok.

Im gettin the toyo open country a/t's tomorrow. How are you liking them?

 

my 1997 2wd 3/4T had stock 225/75R16 Load Range D (8-ply rating) ... and when I bought the truck last year I took off the crap Falken RV tires (wrong size, wrong weight rating) and put the TOYO Open Country ATs on at the recommendation of my tire guy.... and I insisted with them to use the oem size & weight rating

 

So, I have been very happy with these... I don't put a lot of miles on the truck, only about 8,000 miles last year (and they still look brand new). These were very stable on the highway pulling the travel trailer and they were pretty good through the winter on the snow using it as my daily driver. A little bit of road noise, but that doesn't bother me.... it is likely due to the nylon cap layer in the tread... which is there for a good reason.... heat dissipation.... when Firestone yanked the nylon cap layer out of their Wilderness ATs, then you started hearing about all the roll-over deaths due to tread separation blowouts. Oh Oh... now I am going to get all the Firestone lovers crapping on me for the next few days......

      Road Master Active Suspension

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
