Tires
Anybody want some live target practice !!??
existing tires are Bridgestone Dueler H/T
255/65x17...Temp B, Tract-B wear, 300
I bet I can do better....
I'll check Tire Rack in the US - via mudanza
I might like a fatter , taller tire - more air between potholes and me
Whatchathink??

With tax it's probably more than the cost of the tires. That's if you get all 4.
Out of the 3 that are available I would go with the Sumitomo. Japanese technology that's right up there with the likes of Toyo and Yokohama but at a way better price. In my opinion they are still the best kept secret in the tire industry. (And I never worked for them).
Tire Rack said the same...
Then I found a closeout on Pirelli Scorpion ATR, $95 each.
Am solely tempted
Especially since I just got flat after my first 500 km of fun....
too much fun , I guess... but waiting for 2-3 weeks may not appeal to me.
We'll see what happens with the fix tomorrow
I ran those on my 07 Silverado. Great tires. Keep in mind I have had over 100 vehicles in my life so far and don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. I have had pretty much every brand name and a few of the not so common names. There are only 2 or 3 brands so far that really sucked.
Strangely in 10 years I am still on my original DR car and it's second set of tires.

100 vehicles? I could never think to do that. I run them out when I have the chance.
Since the 1970's I have had a 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger, two Dodge B250 vans, a 1985 Pontiac Fiero, a Dodge Grand Caravan, and a Mitsubishi Eclipse in the US and now have the Hyundai Santa Fe I purchased in 2003 and a 2015 Kia Sorento here. The only vehicle I did not like was the Eclipse because the power steering made it feel uncoupled from the road. The Caravan and Eclipse were sold just before I moved to the DR.
About $140-150 he told me
Ordered the tires today....
3 from Tire Rack at the blowout price of $96 each (last 3 in stock) and 1 from Walmart at $160.
Sent directly to Awilda for forwarding
Wow. I paid $120 all-in.
I will say they are very good tires, solid and rugged, just what we wanted.
Plus how much to purchase the 4 tires then what are mounting / balancing costs? All in what's the total total and which tires and the size
