    Tires for work truck

    Originally Posted By: Alex_V I, my FIL, and my boss have Transforce AT's on our trucks - an '85 1-ton, '03 1500HD, and '00 K2500 respectively, all of which I maintain. I can't give any precise longevity stats or say that they're the best for outright wet traction, but I'm pleased with their...

    A new intersection design ?

    There is one of these in Cheyenne, WY. The first time I drove on it after they completed construction, it was very different, but the flow of traffic is so much better.

    Mastercraft Strategy tires (I'm cheap)

    Mastercraft is a very good brand. The Strategy was an excellent better offering in their lineup. Probably the reason they were $57 a shoe is because that model has been discontinued.

    Replacing the Dry Cracked Michelins

    Probably on the inside of the tire, Nick. You're missing 4 more numerical digits. Those Conti's are nice and are on my short list. I'm still beating up the idea of going with the LX20's or the Extreme Winter's. Conti makes a really nice product.

    Michelin Tires?

    Originally tires were white. That's why the Michelin Man is made of white tires. As tire manufacturers started to add more and more black silica compounds and other additives like oil tires became black.

    Winter tire choices - tread pattern

    I sell tires to the tire shops. We get to try out a lot of these tires. For myself and my family, I put nothing but studded Alti-Max Arctics on my wife's 2wd Suburban during the winter. On my Jeep Commander Sport AWD I put the Continental EWC's on since I didn't want studs on it. Bridgestone...

    5 Ribs

    Capri, it is my understanding that 5 ribs is often mandated by the vehicle engineers. For example, the Goodyear Silent Armor was a 4 rib. It was a very popular and successful tire. However it could not be used as an OEM fitment due to having 4 ribs. My GY rep told me the biggest reason it was...
