10 ply tires
I loved the set I had before. I’m also in the camp of not really caring how many miles I get out of them. Trying to squeeze 60,000 miles out of tires doesn’t do any good in the mountains.- MTLabrador

That’s the downside. I’m still leaning ST Maxx for mine.- MTLabrador

10 ply tires
Might be a bit of a surprise, but I’m also considering the Firestone Destination MT2. I absolutely loved the set of these that I had on my old work truck. They saw a lot of heavy mud and snow in the Bighorns and Powder River, as well as lots of sharp rocks. They do have a 3 ply sidewall. I had...- MTLabrador

.25 Creed! But Why?
Kind of like a .257 Roberts for sleek bullets. I agree it’s pretty cool.- MTLabrador

I wish somebody would do this with a gas truck.
100%. Make me a new 90s Chevy 2500 with a manual transmission and I’d buy one tomorrow. Put a 6.0 in it and it would be even better. It’s hard to find the base models of current trucks on a dealer lot. They make a lot more selling a King Ranch instead of a work truck.- MTLabrador

2025 spring bear thread
I’m probably a little more salty about the issue than I should be because I like to go bear hunt in the evenings close to home. It’s a fun way to get some exercise and watch some bears. It just so happens my two local mountain ranges are the most notorious road sow quota districts in the state.- MTLabrador

2025 spring bear thread
Bears are hands down more susceptible to the YouTube effect than any other species, and the difference in pressure the last 5 years has been absolutely insane. The quota districts fill depressingly fast, and a lot of places that aren’t on a quota probably need to be. There are people everywhere...- MTLabrador

Lyrics Friday...
There’s a mid July whitetail in velvet, red as your old Chevrolet. Makes me wish I still had my dad’s old red Chevy half ton I grew up driving.- MTLabrador

10 ply tires
Like you said, hard to say if it would have helped, but it’s a feature I’m looking at pretty hard for my next set.- MTLabrador

That’s a bummer. Do the Toyos have a 3 ply sidewall?- MTLabrador

Question for the 30 cal guys
180 grain Ballistic Tips or Accubonds would be perfect from antelope to moose. Great looking rifle!- MTLabrador

10 ply tires
The best solution is to get some 17 or 18 inch wheels and get the tires you want. 20s don’t make any sense on a truck, at least to me.- MTLabrador

10 ply tires
I loved the Wildpeak AT3W but they changed the compound to be a little harder in the AT4W version, which I don’t want for snow and ice. I’m going to get some new tires this fall and I’m probably either going with Cooper S/T Maxx or maybe the new Cooper Stronghold.- MTLabrador
