    new tires

    After Ruths blow out on one of the rear duallys. I put all new tires in the rear ( did the fronts less than 2 years ago). I wasn't going to wait for another one to go.

    So what kind? I need new tires again. I had a set of whatever came on it (f350-20's) that lasted barely 25k, then I switched to these $$$ Hankooks that will last over 35k but dayum they are expensive. I got a set of Kellys from the local dealer for my wifes f150 but thats apples/oranges. Im looking for something that wears well on a gravel road.

    It's a Cooper product, so there shouldn't be any problem getting them warrantied anywhere you go...I like the tread pattern on them too...Where were they made?...I was always skittish about off-brand, foreign made tires until this year...I wanted my usual Michelins for my current ride, but at $435.00 each it wasn't going to happen...I took a chance on Chinese made Roadlux tires at $174.00 each, and so far I'm happy with them...They ride smooth, balanced well and I kept $1827.00 in my pocket...I even sold my take-offs for another $500.00...As that old philosopher once said:
