Actually $210.88 per tire - math be hard.

Is there some EPA efficiency rating? That is part of the reason car companies have switched over to 0W20 - My 2007 Tahoe 5.3L VS spec is 5W30 - a new Tahoe 5.3L is 0W20 Has anything really changed?

Sam's has the $100 off set of 4 Pirelli AS+3 ($235.88 - 25 = $215.88 each 265 65 18) and if you buy them July 25-27 DOORBUSTER SALE FREE install including road hazard and rotations, flat repairs. I am going to see if DT will match this offer - But my TPMS are over 9 years old and I want to...

Why not respond? Because you can't - so you deflect with a meaningless snarky comment. You know we really don't disagree all that much. I was clearly talking about hot summer temps - you rant about snowmobiles like I wanted 15W40 in the winter. But I really don't want to argue - take it or...

Not a horrible idea to stay with the manufacturers recommendation during warranty - 100 and 10% on OCI. But - The manufacturer's recommendation is not the holy grail - it is the bare bones minimum you have to do to keep your warranty. Do you realize and understand that? It is not the best...

Where do you live? I think many generator failures are caused by a combo of dumb things - not just using "too light" of an oil. I read a bunch of stuff from people in Florida running after a hurricane, high outside temps - and generators were failing. 1. They run near capacity of the unit...

Please don't try and twist my words This is a cut and paste from my prior post in this thread. I bolded the parts that indicate when I support 15W40. Where do you live? Does it get below zero in the winter? Over 100 in the summer? I am in Texas so I would run 15W40 in the summer 5w30 in...

I have done a fair amount of research on ope engines - most engine failures are people using weak oil and not changing it. This is an oil forum - expressing different opinions and exchanging information about oil related things is what people do here. If you don’t agree that is ok with me -...

I don’t know anything about your vehicle - and don’t care what oil you use. I would most likely use a 5W40 because it would be better. Maybe the 5w50 if I was running it hard.

Unless you live someplace with extreme cold there is little reason to use 0W oil in air cooled power equipment. I could see it in a snow blower because you run them for a couple hours at a time (usually) and can check the oil lever between use. A generator that will run 10+ hours straight - I...

I keep 5W40 full synthetic in my portable generator - because I bought a jug of Chevron Delo full synthetic on close out -I use to use 5W30 full synthetic. If I need it in the winter I am good to go - and if I still need it the next day I would use 5W30 or 5W40 depending on my mood. But if...

“Do you want oil that is good enough or better at about the same cost.” I am not saying compare the highest quality 0w40 with bottom of the barrel 15w40. Spend about the same per quart and which will be a better choice in very hot temperatures ?

If it is 110 degrees what is the best oil to use? 5W40 or 15W40? Do you want oil that is good enough or better at about the same cost. To me it is not even close 15W40 in high temps is better than 5W40, or 0W40 Winter I would not be as as concerned between 5W30, 5W40, 0W30 or 0W40, but...

Where do you live? Does it get below zero in the winter? Over 100 in the summer? I am in Texas so I would run 15W40 in the summer 5w30 in the winter. 15w40 > 5w30, 0w40, 10w30and 10w40 when it is burning hot outside. I have no use for 0w anything unless it is freezing cold. I would not...

I always consider cheap tires -but always end up buying quality name brand tires. Was considering a West Lake tire because it was 1/2 the cost of a Michelin - but decided I don't want tires from China. I assume these are from Walmart? I can only imagine how bad of an experience you may...

I am considering Pirelli Scorpion AS+ on my Tahoe. Sam's has them for a little over $900 - DT will match. Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 are over $1,200 - so $300 less. Like getting one free. I see all the reviews and comments are smaller vehicles - anyone running Scorpion AS+3 on a full size...

I put Discount Tire exclusive Yokoyama tires on our Acura TL. It was used mostly to take 300 mile road trips every 3 weeks and also my wife's daily driver. The OEM Bridgestone that came with the car new had gone 25K or so and still have a lot of tread left but their grip on wet roads was very...

What tires?

Wife and I bought out house in 1988 - it was a stretch money wise - drained our savings. I needed a mower - so I went to Builders Square and they had 20" mowers on sale for super cheap - $69 or $79 I can't recall. I figured I would buy the cheap mower - hope it lasted a couple years - and then...

Side note -- As I was sharpening the blades - in place with one of those grinders you put on a drill - I noticed the belt that drives the self propelled wheels had jumped its pulley and was just riding on the shaft of the motor - between the pulley and the blades. So I put it back on the...
