Bubbajay: You brought up a "touchy" subject for me! The cost of truck tires anymore!
The last set of tires I bought for my VarmintMobile (1996 Dodge diesel stick shift 4x4 extended cab one owner - me) coast my $1,100.00!
I was so friggin mad I could have spit!
In my neck of the woods you have to have 10 ply tires and on occasion we deal with gumbo mud and deep powder snow - and the rest of the year we have rocks - sharp rocks!
Anyway the price of tires is way beyond reason anymore - IMO!
When I started buying 4x4 full size trucks you could get a very good set of top flite tires for way under $200.00.
IMWTF?
I always used to "volunteer" MY VarmintMobile for hunts and chores and moving - NO MORE!
Its not the wear and tear on the truck or the fuel its the wear on the tires.
No more free miles for my "friends" - its my plan to make these last set of tires last 10 to 12 years!
Sheesh - don't get me started.
Hold into the wind
