After being married for 51 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty one years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl. Now ... I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems!

Yeah I have to admit that you came to mind while I was reading that article. The areas that the coal industry would affect are some of the hardest hit areas of the country economically speaking. And that industry has the same "trickle down" effect that the oil industry does. It would be nice to keep some of our energy production domestic too.

Man oh man the price of tires has gotten outrageous! I just ordered 2 new fronts and I'll do the rears in a month or so. Trying to not put it on the card. I went with the Cooper Discoverer ATP. I've heard good things about them and I'm pretty sure William is running them. Not to mention they come with an E load rating.
They have a new tread pattern out now though that is friggen awesome. I almost switched, but they were 250 a tire. I got mine for 185 a tire.
Anyways, unless your running slicks in the front, your front has the weight and is more likely to have traction with less tread than the rear which is almost always lighter.
Insurance companies blah blah blah.
They just go with the facts of whatever study was done and if somebody takes them to court, they will win.
The guys there are almost always (99%) of the time great to deal with. (Everyone has a bad day here and there)

I'm running Discoverer ATR's. ATP's are different.

Your rear end is more likely to wash out in a front wheel drive car than the front, same with a pickup. Good tires and I went across a bridge sideways last night. Wasn't very fun.

It is true though. It's a liability thing as to why they do it that way.

If you keep shopping discount tire, your discounts will keep getting better and better.

BTW I prefer a crow bar to your 2x4. I usually have 2 or 3 of them in the truck at all times. Speaking of which my crossbed box is a mess right now. You guys ever post up pics o what's in your crossbed's?

The ATP's are what Discount had. I really like them so far, plus I feel I got a great price on them.

ATR's are discontinued.
At discount at least.
Are you talking about the bed toolbox?
I keep a chain and whatever straps and my shearing gear in there and a tool kit.
