Yes I do and I joy them quite a bit. I went with 245/65r17. They are light weight compared to some of the other popular choices and I feel as though they are responsive. They also did great going to Big Bend. Have nothing but positive things to say about them.
That makes zero sense considering prices aren't too far off. Wondering where your basis comes from. The destination A/T2 is marginally lower score wise when compared to the others with the biggest difference being in the offroad category likely due to the none reinforced sidewall. This leads to a lighter tire though that still performs great.
Like i said firrstone and continentals suck.. same price, same shit tire..
Ah so completely baseless opinion got it. Was just wondering. Thought maybe you had tried each tire in the A/T category and had some personal insight into the matter.
Agreed. I had them on my Ranger and was very impressed with them. Surprisingly good in the snow too. However, I never really pushed them off-road so I can’t comment there. But was planning on going with them again on the BS (if it ever gets scheduled ?). I think they are a great AT option that doesn’t totally wreck on-road performance and efficiency. Thanks for the pics ?
Both the A/T and the A/T2 seem to be well liked by owners.
Get what you pay for usually refers to some extensive price difference. An extra $18 per tire is not some extensive difference. You continue on believing as you will though. No need to bash a brand though just because of personal opinion though versus facts. Just move along.
That was a vivid description! I remember traveling with my Dad one winter. He was an over-the-road driver, and back then taking passengers along wasn't verboten. We were somewhere in Nebraska when the weather closed in. The snow was so heavy the only way to see the highway markings was when the truck in front blew the snow off the road. We traveled what seemed to me a very long way with Dad on the CB radio directing the driver in front to turn left or right to keep him on the road. Eventually, the blowing snow became so bad we had to stop. We took an exit and ended up parked at some roadside diner. There were some 20-30 people already there as I recall. We spent the night sleeping on the floor. The next morning we went out to see how much snow had fallen. The wind had created deep drifts everywhere; Dad and I walked up the steep side of one drift to look for the truck when we realized we were standing on top of the trailer.
That is crazy! Fortunately for us, the storm hit around Georgetown (below the tunnels) but by the time we got to the tunnels it was a full blown storm. We kept going mostly doing what your dad did, following trucks. The wiper fluid was frozen so all the wipers did was smear the snow filled road dirt! My wife had a small window of clear (?) vision and she helped alot. Lots of people were stopped in Vail, but an east bound driver said the weather was good about 20 miles or so west, so we pressed on. He was right, thank the lord! They closed I70 not long after at the tunnels and Vail pass.
