Truck stuck
So there's about 6 inches of snow on the ground and my truck is stuck. In the front yard. Lesson learned, don't buy tires with neat designs, they don't function well.

Sorry just needed to rant. Delete if needed.

I take it you're not a big fan of those dune grapplers then...I'm glad I didn't let the tire guy talk me into those...

Nitto Dune Grapplers. I never got around to writing my review for the board on here. Maybe I'll do that while I wait for someone to pull my truck out. Its bad when I can say that my bald Pirelli Scorpion ATRs more than likely wouldn't have gotten me stuck.

Yeah those tires look like they'd only be good in sand...

Oh well, maybe you should consider running a set of winter tires.

i'm going to be going for a set of dura grapplers next year, they look like they'd be good in the snow and on ice

I lost my job a couple weeks ago so buying a new set of anything is out of the question. I have my stock rims with some near bald Pirelli ATRs. When I can get the truck into a warm enclosure I'll be swapping them out ASAP.

Well the trucks not stuck anymore. Thankfully it was another Ford that pulled me out. This is the second time I've been stuck and the second time an F150 pulled me out. I think someone is trying to tell me to get an F150 lol.

Get some tires with a good grip to them and you'll be the one draging the F-150 around.
