Was considering the Destinations for my 2010 F-150. Went with the Cooper Discoverer AT3. Very similar in tread, milage and reviews. Cooper was offering the $75 MIR.
Wanted the Jetzon Revenger A/T. What a great all around tire. Had them before on my Frontier, but due to ^ oil prices, the tire prices increased over 100%

I have been running my C's for 2.5 years now with no problems. My studded tires happen to be E's. My snowmobile and trailer weigh about 1,000 pounds total. Alaskan style sled; SWT Skidoo.

This comes up periodically.
The speedo and computer react differently.
Thus the distance you actually travel is not correct.
Thus the mpg goes down with bigger tires.
Hand calc is off too, since you actually go
Farther than the computer/dash says.
