Do you know what it's like to have to drive a FORD for 2 1/2 weeks? This goes against every grain in my soul. So depressing.

I had to drive a Ford work truck for a year. I hated that thing. The seat even made my back hurt.

I had dueler Alenzas brand new on my 2006 when I bought it because they dealer couldn’t sell it without putting new tires on it. I hated the duelers. Couldn’t corner for crap and they’re terrible in the snow. I don’t regret not buying those tires lol

Exactly what I am dealing with, my back is hurting too, drives like sh*t. Steering sucks, transmission sucks. The whole truck sucks. LOL. Got that stupid start stop sh*t on it. I figured out how to bypass it though.

I've had great results with the previous 4-5 sets I've had. These new ones are the only 80,000 mile version I've had of them though. They are 90% perfect. Just not as good as the 35k mile ones that came on it. All the other sets, I got about 50-55k out of them and was very happy.

I live in a ski town so I’ve never not had mud and snow rated all terrains. When I brought the Denali home it was my first AWD and I couldn’t justify putting tires on it when it already had brand new tires. But after three months I just couldn’t take the Bridgestones. Lol. Luckily we didn’t get a ton of snow that winter so the duelers were ok enough to get through the last two months of winter that year.

Ordered up some Wix Filters on amazon and going to give the AC Delco oil a try. @swathdiver seems to have luck with this. Right James?

Yep, just ordered 6 bottles from Rock Auto. Turned out to be $180.79 signed, sealed and almost delivered. Also picked up some PF48 oil filters for the Sierra and a K&N Filter from Amazon for the Yukon XL, the HP2011.

I can't believe the price on amazon. Three, 5qt jugs for $35.00 seems wrong. They are out of stock anyway so we shall see.

Why not use the HP2011's on the Sierra also?

Saw that too and went with RA and also ordered a bunch of other parts for the Yukon and Kia. In the end, it's not much different.

I would but Julia wants the cheap filters from now on, just to see I guess. They way she drives, they're only on the truck for 2-3 months at most.

I sell that tire new for $275 a piece

 

[Sparksalot]

Those look good. How about a shot of the side? These new Bridgestones looked way to aggressive (tread depth and massive space between the tread maybe?) to me at first but I guess I got used to them. I think those look fine.
See what I mean? I'm used to them now but wasn't super happy at first. They were like $1,200 plus mount/balance

Too aggressive?

Mine must be over the top bully.

Only action on these so far has been two scams and a low ball.

Typical. I posted a snowblower and some guy said he'd send me a cashier's check and would I ship it. Cretins.

I played him out for a bit then cut it off. Just wasting his time.
