Hey everyone,
Guess I haven't been on here for a while and thought I'd share an update. Had a great first year with the Northstar and the new truck. Put 22k miles on the truck, with about 12k or so loaded with the camper. Made two long trips, one to Montana in July and the other for bird hunting in Michigan in October. Lots of shorter trips, including Pennsylvania a couple of times and a couple of trips to the Adirondacks. Spent a total of 30 nights in the camper this year.
Starting to research tires for next season. The factory Transforce tires did well and wore evenly, but at 22k miles they're just about done. Would like to stay with a fairly aggressive all terrain-type tread but hoping maybe to get a bit more durability out of what comes next. Putting on a set of Generals for snow tires this week but will swap those out come April or May.
Have searched for relevant tire-related threads here, and I know this is a topic that's been beat to death. But just not finding much that's helpful. If anyone can share links to particularly good threads about tire brands and tire choices, that would be greatly appreciated.
anyway, thanks again. Re-reading this thread this morning has been kind of fun, a nice reminder of all the help folks here gave me the past couple of years.
