It will only get worse!

 

Its rough getting old......

 

I will, I'm playing golf tomorrow night, then racquet ball Thursday night, plus I have another interior detail lined up that I may be able to get done this weekend or next weekend.

Yupp.......When I can't go anymore, I will figure out how to get around it and keep going until I can't or I'm dead.

 

I'm getting tired of those crapyear rs-a tires on the STA.....they follow the rain grooves way too much....so last night i started looking at tires......WOW was a sticker shocking experience.....those 255/50-20's are gold.......then i did some figuring and found that i can also use 275/45-20 which is 0.1" shorter and$20-$50 less then the other.....

Now which ones should i get .......

Ive looked at cooper xst-a, yokohama parada, nexen/lexani rhodians, firestone destination, faulken zies, toyo proxes, and more......decisions decisions decisions

I loved the performance of the Toyo Proxies but the 305/50/20s lasted only about 45,000 on my truck. Not had good luck with Falken in the past. If I could not go Michelin, then I would consider the Cooper or the Yokohama. If the life of the Proxies is acceptable, the traction was superb.

 

Thats what i keep running into with the proxies....the mileage isnt there....

 

No, but they were as good on wet pavement as any tire I've used. Only other comprable was the Michelin LTX MS

 

Hard to believe Ford trucks are capable of this. 13.94 with a tune and intake.

My choice would be the firestone destination

 

I didnt like the tread design.....



Copycat of the nitto.....

 

Thinking, just thinking....of getting a Roush intake and sct programmer for the truck.

 

Hitting the road in the AM. Tennessee, Virginia and then to the wife's sister's house in Maryland. By the time I get back I may have to go back to work to pay for the gasoline!
