I have them still. Im going to try and sell them this week. The tire shop didn't want them because he said "I would offer you very little money for them, you should sell them on your own"
Hey everyone so I picked up my badlands this week and I needed to get snow-rated tires by the weekend. I went with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S. I have experience with these in the past and I can say they are great. I had no idea they offered them in 235/65/R17 until I saw that tire rack added...
I have no idea. you might be the first person on this planet outside of ford to try that tire size. here is the article which says 30.5 is the max Car&Driver. let us know how it works out.
I decided against the crossclimate2's because I realized to drive on backroads every weekend. I'm going to get either the Falken A/T Trail or Pirelli Scorpion all-terrain plus. I'm leaning towards the Pirelli's because reviews seem to suggest they handle better. However, Ill take the Falkens if...
They do look pretty cool. We owned them a few years ago and their ride wasn't very smooth or quiet and they wore through very quickly driving the gravel roads. We switched to Cooper Discovery at3 LT and then the 4S version, they are much better in all regards. Still have to see how the 4S wear...
Good point. I forgot I should probably get the spare changed to the correct size. I wouldn't want to cause damage to the car if I need the spare. I'm going to go with your idea of getting an all season of the same brand but not directional onto the spare. Also from what I can remember when you...
My partner bought a Tacoma and needed to upgrade her tire to something more puncture proof. Drove a total of about 250 miles on the tires and Les Shwab bought them for 40 bucks a piece. They were basically brand new but they drove on them they considered them used. I want to get new tires at the...
Oh wow, that's funny we are going to do the same plan. Do you think my dealer will want to buy back the pirelli's? How much money for each tire do you think I should get?
I thought the same thing for the longest time. Snow is really weird. for example a tire that is flat but has a million sips will outperform a knobby mud-terrain tire in snowy road conditions any day. Kinda the opposite of what normal logic
Generally, thinner is actually better for driving on snow-covered roads. Less float. So I just looked up via Tire Rack the true tread differences between my current cooper 225mm tire and the Michelin crossclimate2's 235mm. the 235mm is 0.3 inches wider. I think I'm very comfortable now going...
If you look at the tread differences between those two Falken tires it looks like Ford is using the A/T trails. It's subtle. If it helps my friend recently got wild peak a/t trails for his RAV4 and he loves them so far
The big thing I'm worried the 235's are going to be too wide and affect my snow and gas mileage performance. I have 225's on my current car and they cut nicely into the snow. Seeing comparison photos of 225 vs 235 width looks pretty drastic in some photos I'm finding. I think you interpreted my...
I didn't end up getting the "steelie wheel" or the Falken tires for my BL. I'm going to upgrade my tires as I pick up the vehicle. I live in Oregon and driving over the snowy passes with non-snowflake-rated tires is illegal. I was planning to get a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2's. However...
