Tire Thread - Step Inside

[firemandan1700]

Sooooooo... Long story short, I am the 4th person to get our truck stuck. Our 07 F350 Diesel brush truck still has continental tires on it. A few nay sayers on the department state that if you think you might get stuck that you shouldnt drive out in that terrain. Damn older generation!

Anyways... I am trying to push for some All Terrain/Off road tires at the next Department meeting. I would like to keep the costs around $1,000 bucks take or give.

Suggestions?

And you know the drill.... Discuss!

I almost got those Nittos, but went back to my BFG All-Terrains. I had no problems with them, they lasted 5 years and like 60k. I plowed with them fine and never got stuck in some of the shit i would drive into, even brought it to Cliffs once. lol They do kinda suck in the rain and hydroplane easily, but i just pop it in Auto4x4 and that solves any acceleration issues in the rain.

Goodyear Duratracs, amazing tires.

I have the Nitto Trail Grapplers on my truck. LOVE the tires.

i did some retread research and on a daily driver that i drive 60 miles a day, was not worth chancing it.

Ranger guys swing from treadwrights

 

[firemandan1700]

The mileage isn't an issue. We probably put 60 miles on the truck in like 3 months.

For those who bought the nitto grapplers what did you pay per tire?


And those who have said off road/All terrain tires what did you pay?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

265/75/16 Lt C load range i paid 800 installed.

just tires had a sale, 202 ea but the manager priced them at 160 per tire for me.

 

[firemandan1700]

Bump!

We bought the new shoes for this. Totally forgot to update this with the outcome.

Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs. Cost was 750 out the door. The company gave us 350 for our current continental tires. We are very pleased with this.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

Well, that should make a big fucking difference!

 

[Outlaw]

Nice. That truck is raw.

 

[firemandan1700]

Too bad it wont be tested anytime soon... brush fire season is basically over round here.

I'm sure you'll start getting stranded motorist calls soon enough. 'Tis blizzard season almost!

 

[firemandan1700]

Well the my fire dept don't do stranded motorist calls.

At the sheriff dept we do. We try to pawn most of them off to state police.
Aka- "AAA w/ a gun"

 

[Burtonrider10022]

Weak. Other volly guys I know like to do the stranded motorists because then they ask for new winches and other equipment that they can use year round.

 

[firemandan1700]

Don't get us wrong when it gets very very shitty like 2 years ago and we got dumped on, we trolled the interstate checking cars. But we aren't dispatched in that form you are referring to.
