    My new rear wheels and tires 0/32 left on old tires!

    Maybe I should have rotated them.

    My new rear wheels and tires 0/32 left on old tires!

    The risk of a blow out is small with a solid rubber tire but better safe than sorry 😂

    My new rear wheels and tires 0/32 left on old tires!

    $28 for both - so not worth it.

    My new rear wheels and tires 0/32 left on old tires!

    Trying to mow my wet grass and I was slip sliding all over. Bought new tires and wheels and installed them in 5 minutes. Changed the oil and sharpener the blades and I should be good to go. First tires lasted 10 years but have been smooth for a long time.

    Am I overthinking getting my new tires balanced properly?

    Ask them to use the yellow dot on the sidewall- Yellow dot should be right by the valve stem on the wheel

    Sidewall Damage - Cosmetic or Dangerous?

    4.5 years old - sidewall split - I would replace them. Well unless nobody you care about ever rides in the vehicle - These are on my MIL's car what should she do? RUN THEM.

    Sam’s club - 5/5/2025 last day of door buster sale.

    Become a Plus member - gives you free shipping >$50 orders and free delivery >$50. We buy more stuff free shipping than I do inside the club. So if I didn't live close enough to actually shop the store I would still be a Plus member and just order stuff and have it shipped. My daughter has...

    Sam’s club - 5/5/2025 last day of door buster sale.

    Sam’s scan and go is the best thing. When you leave they don’t even have to check your cart because it is scanned to make sure you are not stealing anything. Costco lines to check out always long but they do move pretty fast. I get Sam’s price but buy from Discount Tire. The Pirelli as+ 3...

    Sam’s club - 5/5/2025 last day of door buster sale.

    Many sets of tires $70 - $100 off plus free installation. I almost wish my tires were worn out I still have 5/32. Will go another 6k. Since today is the last day if you want it better move fast.

    Falken SN250 A/S louder on freeway than cheap tires - need quieter tires

    Does the car have a radio? Turn it up. I was complaining to a coworker about a rattle I had in my vehicle - he said I drive a Kia Sportage with 300K miles on it - I never hear rattles because I just turn the music up louder.

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    Since my next set of tires will be for a 2007 Tahoe that has a trade in value of $8,000 - I wonder about putting tires on that are 12-15% of its value. Seems like a bad idea. I was considering going super cheap - Rocky Mountain tires which is Discount Tire store brand made by Falken - $118...

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    The Cooper Endeavor Plus is $823.21 at Sams - The Michelin Defender M/S2 $1,150.6 $327.39 savings ~~$82 per tire is significant $$ But for some reason I usually end up grabbing the more expensive tire. Even though I have been critical of Michelin - I have had a few disappointments - I...

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    I have looked at the Cooper tires several times. Last time I had a flat repair as I was waiting a truck pulled out with new tires and I though those look nice- they were Cooper.

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    I don’t need an AT but like the look. 90% chance I will stick with a highway tire. Z71 Tahoe -

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    I have the AT Ascent in my shopping cart at Sam's Club. :cool: $273 each with $80 off if you buy 4. Sam's installs all 4 for $40 (half price) so drive out with tax is $1,135.45. Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 $100 off if I buy 4 same install deal - drive out $874.14 Would be a better match with...

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    Back in 1999 I wanted larger tires for my Silverado Z71 pick up - so I put on some 285 75 16 LT tires I didn't mind the ride but my wife hated it. At 67 (today is my B-day) I am more about a nice ride.

    Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin Defender LTX MS 2

    The test Tire Rack did on the Defender LTX M/S2 found stopping distance was not great - they have not tested the LTX M/S2 (no name tire) Bridgestone 1ST 155 feet to stop Michelin 6TH at 168. They said What We'd Improve: A bit more traction never goes amiss Overall Michelin came in 3RD...

    Not all LTX are the same - the Michelin Premier LTX are garbage.
