Not good enough for mountain/snowflake traction rating? Weird.I kind of like the looks of these new Toyo R/T hybrid M/T’s. Too bad I just put tires on the truck that I really like.

I didn’t notice that. That automatically makes them a nope for me. They look nice though.

Same here. First thing I check on a new tire for the trucks.

What are those???
True, but I bet the little plate is the one most looked at (only). Pretty ballsy to try selling a stolen vehicle to a dealer.

Absolutely is, I’m sure. But most have the VIN right on the driver’s door plate too, and several other conspicuous spots like the frame somewhere in the engine bay. How don’t you make even a cursory check of that? I can’t believe a dealer would get screwed by this.

Years ago a friend of mine got his Expedition taken by the FBI. Apparently there were multiple vehicles with the same VIN, so they were checking them all. They got pretty invasive (to the point I wouldn't have wanted it back and would've sold it/traded it in), and luckily his turned out to be the original.

Probably be needing a new set by next fall. Been looking at and strongly considering the falken at4's. Anyone have experience with those or the at3's?
I put these on my truck. Like them a lot so far.
Cooper discoverer rugged trek. They come in E load rating too.

I run Cooper STT’s on my Superduty, but put a set of Nokian Outpost AT’s on my Yukon because there were no Michelin’s in town and they were highly recommended. Made in Tennessee and siped for winter. Nokian is super popular up here for their winter tires (Finnish company), and I am very happy with mine.

So about a week ago I took a bad step off of a ladder. The result was a dislocated knee, a torn ACL and a severed quadriceps tendon. I had surgery on Thursday and came home yesterday afternoon. This will be my view for a few days.
It could be worse.

Ouch. Hope you heal up fast.
I almost had something like that happen a couple weeks ago. Headed down to the basement to workout and I don’t know what I was thinking, but I was distracted and missed the bottom step of the stairs.
Felt my ankle roll and immediately took the weight off it and was fast enough to do a quick step with the other foot to catch myself.
I was actually surprised that I didn’t even sprain or tweak the ankle, and was thinking how thankful I am that my reflexes and speed were still fast enough to prevent injury. Any slower, and it could’ve been bad.

I know a lot of people who’ve told me that past a certain age, they decided never to get on a ladder again. Anything that required being on a ladder, got hired out.I had to reset my knee before I could get off the floor.
