What truck will BigFin purchase?

A 305/70R18 would get you to around 9.8 wide depending on the rim size.

I think you have a typo. A 305 series tire is about 12" wide.

I know opinions are like assholes, but I've driven a heck of a lot of miles on very snow and icy roads on KO2 tires, and am in disbelief anyone would find them inferior to the Cooper AT3s you've been using and I've used both.

I'm pretty much in the same box here. We have plenty of ice and snow, and I don't know of a better tire that is also survivable on the highway.

Randy, ST Maxx. Get some. mtmuley

I thought Raptors were for mall crawling.

 

[EYJONAS!]

Falken Wildpeak At3

We've been running them on a variety of pickups and have done quite well with them.

I will second this post! They were the best tire I have relied on in the snow and went where others would not drive with the BFG's. They have been tough and reasonably quiet on the pavement.

Congrats Randy! Cant wait to get the full review sometime. Maybe I can convince my wife to let me get one instead of the F150!

I’ve heard very good things about these as well.

Considering the resale, that's an excellent price. Wow. Go watch tfl and Doug demuro discuss Raptor prices.

I'm not a fan of sunroofs. Tend to leak. But I could see the value for the camera guys maybe trying to get a shot without opening the doors.

Congrats!

Here is what I was referring to. I see other sites have it listed differently. That’s why he needs to talk to his tire guy.

What a boss. Did the crew volunteer to always clean it, pack it, and chain it up whenever needed?

There’s some sort of misprint. The first number is the width in mm, the second is the sidewall height as a percentage of width.

The used Geo metro with the donut on the back is out, the Ferrari is in.

Good choice.

I was either going with those or the Goodyear Duratracs I ended up getting. A buddy has the Falkens on a 2wd dually here in CO, no snow issues yet.

I pretty much drive for a living have been through the ringer on tires over the last 10 years and on a ton they're fantastic so far in 30 or 40k more miles I'll know more. Half ton rigs ir anything else I'd buy em again in a heartbeat

 

[Aussie_hunter_JD]

Given that Nissan Titans are $140k in Aus I'd hate to know what the Raptor would cost.

 

[tzone]

I'm rooting for the '98 Cheyenne he referenced in the other thread. New trucks might be more comfortable, but you can't beat the character of an old truck.

When the hell did a 98 Chvey become an old truck.

When the hell did a 98 Chvey become an old truck.

In 2013 when it was 15 years old.

This is awesome. Another “use the code randy” and we all get 20% off new Fords....I am stoked
