How deep is the siping on the outside tread? Do they go all the way down to the wear bars? My wife's 2024 Highlander came with Premier LTX - the siping on the front tire was gone by 3,500 miles - rotated them at 4K - now at 4.5K the outside siping is all gone on all 4 tires. I don't even see...

Per Discount Tire the Defender LTX M/S are being discontinued - Tire Rack also shows them as a close out. The only other LTX I can find is Primacy LTX - The old Defender M/S was rated 800AA The new Defender M/S2 is rated 820BA The traction rating got dropped to a B - they gave up some...

I know.

I have read this - max load at max PSI many times - I think it is one of those yes it is true but it is misleading. If you look at chart of PSI VS load for a standard load rated tire - the max load rating is achieved when the tire hits 36 PSI. https://www.falkentire.com/load-inflation Take a...

I have started shopping for tires for my Tahoe 265 65R18 Michelin LTX M/S2, Pirelli Scorpion AS +3, Continental Terraincontact (HT or AT) are my finalists, although Bridgestone AT Revo3 are still on the short list. I see Michelin, Pirelli and Bridgestone tires on sale all the time - I never...

I always ask to see the tires before they are installed - If they were 2 years old I would tell them I did not want them............. The tires I have on my Tahoe have 17,000 miles on them - they are over 6 soon to be over 7 years old. If I drove 20K a year I would not care - because they...

I just did a search on each brand - 🤷🏻‍♂️

Michelin, Firestone, Cooper, Continental, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Falken recommend replace after 10 years max - BF Goodrich, Kumho says 6 years. Pirelli, Goodyear says 6-10 years. Does this mean 10 is the limit? I am at 6.5 years on my Michelin Defender LTX M/S with 5/32 tread left. I have...

Just make sure you tell the shop you want the - Driver side front on the passenger side rear Passenger side front on the driver side rear Both rear tires stay on the side they are on they just go straight to the front. Otherwise they will just swap front and rear on the same side - But of...

NAPA carries it You can even have it delivered.

Premier XLT is the tire on my wife's 2024 Highlander. I would think a softer rubber would reduce MPG. So it seems off they selected this tire to improve MPG. I will say maybe - the tread depth of this tire when new is 8/32" - I can see where using this instead of something with 12/32" would...

Years past I agree - Why I became a Michelin only guy. They changed something - Defenders on the Tahoe just hit 20k they are down to 5/32 on two and 6/32 on two.Start out 12/32 tread depth. Rotated every 5-6k. If they wore 6.5 32’s in 20K how long will it be before they are worn out?

Nokian One HT are rated for electric vehicles - would be a good choice good choice for snow and if you need a heavy duty tire. I was concerned about a stiff ride - but the reviews seem good. I am on the fence - the Nokian One HT VS Michelin Defender xlt m/s VS Pirelli Scorpion AS +3 for a...

After I wear out the gas powered Honda mowers I own I am going battery. One plain push mower is 15 years old still runs like new - the other 10 year old self propelled still runs like new. I use the self propelled 9 out of 10 - if the engine stops working I would put the older engine on it...

So use a 401K loan to time a market crash?:confused: Brilliant why didn't I think of that? :unsure: Why not take out a 401K loan and buy put options on QQQ - or invest in a 3x leverage bear ETF! I am not saying a little gambling in the market is a bad idea - I do it myself with small...

I opened an IRA in 1981 with $1,000. I then quit my job and went back to school to get an MBA. The next job I got had a 401K plan so I never contributed to the IRA again. I rolled it over to a ROTH IRA in 2008 or 9 when the balance was way down because of the financial crisis and my income was...

My dad had a Mercury Zephyr same as the 79 Fairmont - In the winter - say below freezing if you were in the passenger side front seat on the highway it would freeze your feet. He took it back to the dealership many times - they tore the thing apart but could never fix it. On some trips my...

Short circuit the situation to a simple question. If you could borrow money at 5.5% and invest it and earn 16% would you do it? Taking the CU loan at 5.5% so you can keep earning 16% on your 401k for the obvious win.

When I was 17 (1975) I bought a 1969 Chevelle SS396. After hot rodding around for a few weeks I started hearing some rattle inside the valve covers - I pulled the covers off and could see the rockers were rattling - Not knowing anything - I grabbed a socket and started tightening them down -...

I started writing the oil change date on the mower deck with a magic marker. On my one older Honda I am running out of room. It takes me 10 minutes to change the oil + 12.5 ounces of oil. I have used a complete hodgepodge of different oil types and grades - even mixed different oil. Say a...
