The Official Status Update Thread: Part 92 - Neverending Winter

[MikeDVB]

Hi Mike. Having fun in the deputy thread?

It seems some people really want patted on the back for choosing a particular career.

So... Maybe?

 

[MikeDVB]

Are all-terrain tires decent in snow/ice/rain or do they suffer due to being all-terrain?

Looking for something a little more aggressive.

AT are generally better for traction in snow/ice/rain than MT, due to additional siping in the tread. I prefer BF Goodrich AT-TKO, myself. Always had good luck with em.

I'm not sure what I have on my wife's jeep! But those suckers hum like crazy on dry pavement!

Regardless of his opinion on guns, I don't find death amusing. Clearly he struggled with addiction, but he also had a family.
Some are able to recover from their addictions, but I find no joy in those who aren't.

with the mount of glassine bags he had I dont think he struggled; the one eating 20 hot dogs an hour for a fix is struggling

If the tires hum loudly (especially at highway speed), they're probably Mud Terrain. I had a set of Wrangler MT's on an old Ramcharger. Would make your ears ring after a while.

I have heard the Michelin AT's are better traction-wise in the snow but they also seem to be more expensive.

Here is what I have now:

I can't say if they are any better or not (never used Michelin truck tires). They are usually more pricey though. I like the BFG TKO because they have a reinforced edge next to the tire rim. The thicker edge saved my tires more than once while off-roading.

I disagree...my mud terrain tires got me everywhere I needed to go. Ice, snow, didn't stop me...

Interesting - I don't see any good way to compare that without seeing both in person.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...2014&autoModel=Tundra 4wd&autoModClar=CrewMax is what I am also looking at. Will look at the TKO and see if I can get them in the right size so I can compare.

Take into consideration the specs & the reviews, also. They may help with your decision. The Goodyears look decent (don't know much on that model). Comparison between Wrangler & TKO, I had better performance with the BFG's.

I guess you could say I'm kinda biased. (see what I did there)

Not seeing TKO in a stock size for my wheel size. Have to go a little bigger which I could do but I'd definitely have to recalibrate my speedometer.

I agree to disagree. At least in cases of wet roads due to rain/water.
