The tire dealer I have been talking to has a set of take-offs in the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A in my 275/60 R20 E rated tire...with 400 miles on them. His "drive-out" price including Road-Force balancing is $740... I know NOTHING about this tire, has anyone run one and would you recommend them? In the past I have found that tires that come OEM on a car or truck are garbage and I have always had to replace them soon...almost like they were a cheaper tire than the same tire if purchased from the tire dealer....any comments??
If I were to look for take-offs that included the rims, where is the best place to look? My tire dealer does not have any...
Running a 60 low profile tire is one of the reasons I was considering going to a 17" rim so that I could purchase 70 series tires...However, if I consider the 275/65 R20 then it would be a "higher" sidewall tire than the 60's...would that help when puncture resistance is considered??
My family took the Alcan Hwy back in 1971...my Dad had a '66 F250 with a cab-over truck camper on it. The unpaved Alcon was about 1150 miles one way...I was 17 and a fairly new driver...and when it was my turn to drive I learned to avoid the large rock-slinging trucks and pot holes very quickly !! As a driver I grew up fast on that road as that road was incredible....rough, dusty and slick when wet!! But my Dad went back in 1989 with the same camper but a newer F250 and most of it was paved by then (less 300 miles as I remember he said). Now, I am dying to go back and take my wife...I wish I could afford a HD truck but what I have is what I must use for now, so THANKS for all of the great advice and help!!
