Hello
whatever-your-name-is-since-you-don't-have-the-guts-to-put-it-in-your-post,

So, you don't support public safety personnel? How would you feel if it was
your house on fire while you were trapped inside and I was at home
listening to the radios instead of dragging your butt out the front door?
Or maybe your tree wrapped around a telephone pole, and I'm at home instead
of landing the medical helicopter that would take you to a major trauma
center?

I've driven MANY miles, without that many problems. I've had one
fender-bender during my driving career. Can you say the same? A good
portion of those miles are emergency (code three) driving. Would you be
capable of handling an Expedition at 110 MPH? Think you can drive well
enough to stay with a Police Interceptor Crown Victoria in a truck that
weighs a ton more?

I am placed under a duty of care by state law, and can be held to greater
punishments than the normal citizen if I injure or kill someone while
responding to an emergency. Therefore, I am always very careful with my
driving, and don't take unnecessary risks.

Oh, and by the way, I have the mental capacity to process all 15 radios at
once, listen to the FM radio, talk on a radio if necessary, and still be
able to out-drive most of the motoring public. I also run a laptop in the
truck at times for mapping purposes, and I can use that too with no
problems. Judging from the improper use of English in your defamatory
message, I would hazard to guess that your words are merely the ramblings
of an uninformed and probably undereducated individual. Perhaps you should
think about getting the whole story before you make comments that display
your ignorance.

Please, any and all flames to me to keep the list uncluttered.
Terry

I've heard nothing but good things about the LTX tires, but they are not
cheap.  I'm going to be ordering a set of their M/S tires from Costco ($110
ea) this week.  Michelin now makes a new truck tire, the Cross Terrain SUV.
It's a luxury truck tire meant for street-only use.  If you ever head
off-road, I think you'd want the M/S, or the A/T if you do serious
off-road.

Here in the west, (though not in California) there's a tire chain called
Les Schwab.. I've been using there house brand with good luck.. and I abuse
these tires quite a bit.. I routinely drive 70 mph on BAD(tm) gravel roads
in the Nevada desert.  I don't know how makes the tires.. I don't even know
if they are made be the same company year after year. Sorry

Public safety personnel?????
More like public menace or a danger to the public. I can't believe whatever Public Safety Agency you belong to allows you to drive at 110 mph in your POV with lights on top, and just because you have gotten away with it so far doesn't mean it's right or allowed.
"A duty of Care" ? What is that? I have heard of a Duty to Act if you are an EMT. Are you an EMT? Why do you need to speed so much to get to the scene, are your radios different from the cops or firefighter/EMS radios?
Please explain why you feel the need to endanger the public by speeding excessively while listening to 15 radios. Don't your radios have different channels? Have you heard of a scanning feature that radios come with?

Ken,

Is the Ford-Trucks.com going to be at Pigeon Forge this year?  If so, where
will you be at?  Also, where is the best place to camp?  I finally convinced
my wife in going this year after seeing a small truck show in the Dells.

Yeah, we'll be there.  FTE will have a space inside.  Don't know the
location yet.  Also, look for me occasionally hanging out at the Georgia
LoRiders tent on the front lawn.  Keep in mind that this is mainly an
older truck show.... but it is WELL worth it and will probably hook you
on getting an older truck (I've got a 2000 as well as the older ride).
