    Two tires have 25k miles and the other two have 35k miles. I might actually get some mileage out of these tires.

    Tires now have 35/45k miles.

    Last night in our monsoon rain storms the truck didn't have a lot of traction at 7/32nds with one tire at 5/32nds.

    Time to start looking at tires again.

    I will probably sell the wheels and tires. Have my eye on some different wheels.

    Can't remember if it is you or @blenton that has Nokian aPT tires. Probably going that route.

    Nokian Outpost nAT’s here. Rocking them on three vehicles and still love them.

    I'm probably going to order today. With 20% off through simple tire and the military discount they are just over 1000.00. Might even contact discount to see if they want to price match.

    They will. That's how I bought my Outposts - price match with Simple Tire. They weren't happy about it, but they did it.

    I had the same experience with KO2s on the Tundra and won't buy them again.

    DT can get a little sneaky with their price match due to how Simple Tires discount is displayed. Last time they tried to match the pre-cart price, then matched the after tax price for DT’s pre-tax price. Maybe it was a new kid running the counter. Oh, and they automatically add certificates to the tires unless you explicitly tell them no. But they will usually match it.

    This thread motivated me to get a full spare. DT matched the $278 Method 701 and said no to the $331 Outpost, then said yes.

    Appreciate the heads up. If they pull that crap, I will order through simple tire right in front of them.

    I have to do the same. I have a 265 spare and need to put one of the 275's on. Walmart to the rescue for 5.00

    Ordered Nokian Outpost NAT LT275/70/18 Load index 125 today from discount tire. 279.89 a tire. They couldn't figure out how I got them so cheap, but they honored the policy.

    I thought so as well. Not as killer of a deal as the BFG's at the beginning of this thread.

    Keep us updated on the new tires. I’m curious to see how they compare. I was not overly fond of my KO2’s in the rain, and even less so when they started to wear down.

    Will do and I will start a new thread. I'll probably put them on in October before I head out to TN to purchase some retirement property.

    Been looking at wheels too. I just don't like them poking out much and it's hard finding anything more than 22 offset. Factory is 44.
