What tires should I get

[2nd 392]

Edit- you live On Mt Hood.

Yep, we Live on Mt Hood, only about 1,200’ elevation, so those snow pics above, were an extreme for our neighborhood, but not the mountains out here.

Mt St Helens, North of us, in WA state is much more active, and has been tossin and turnin in her sleep lately. St Helens has been having a lot of deep, low level earthquakes, that geologists are saying could indicate Magma moving deep under the mountain, and could be a precursor to another eruption

Mt Hood, is considered to be a Dormant, but not “Extinct” volcano, that could become active again, she does have the occasional minor earthquakes, but so far, nothing that has the geologists concerned.

At the 1,200’ elevation where we live, we would be considered to be in the “Red Zone” if Mt Hood were to become more active.

Sleeping Beauty


Same river(the Sandy River) about 2 blocks from the house. Yep, it’s Glacier fed off of Mt Hood, and if an eruption were to happen, the Lahars would be extremely Bad for our neighborhood, judging from Mt St Helens in 1980, it would be I’m glad that my Toyo AT III mileage report was of interest to you, those miles were very diverse. City, Hwy, and pulling various different trailers, up to about 4,500# in all those conditions

Beautiful country- I was following the tremors, magma movement, even some steaming for a while. Increasing activity not only for the Cascades, even the Long Valley Super Volcano here in Ca is showing signs of waking up. Oh well- if the Cascadia Subduction Zone goes it connects to the San Andreas Fault at the triple junction setting it off the entire left coast from Canada to Mexico could fall off into the ocean. We will no longer have to worry about it.
yes- so far very pleased with the Toyo’s, when I just mentioned new tires my son started raving about his. But being F load his longevity may not have been comparable to C loads, you just verified it is.

Mike (2nd 392) what part of CA, are you in?

I have spent a lot of time over the years in Nor Cal for work. For many years I delivered to restaurants ( Burger King, Wendy’s and Arctic Circle) in Crescent City, Eureka, Ukiah, Lakeport and Clear Lake, then down to Sackatomatoes, to pickup at a vendor, and out to Rancho Cordova, to our other warehouse to unload/reload.

Last year and a couple years before that, and I was delivering auto parts out of Medford, OR and had deliveries in Arcata, and Willow Creek on the Coast route, and Yreka and Mt Shasta City on the Local route, and Aturas was on the East route.

There’s some Real Beautiful Country in Nor Cal too. I always enjoyed hwy 199 between Grants Pass, OR, and C City, absolutely Beautiful along the Smith River, especially in the Fall, New England ain’t got nuthin on that stretch. The hwy SUX in places but the scenery is amazing

Hwy 96 from Willow Creek to Anderson Grade on I-5 has a lot of Beautiful stretches as well, but that’s over 150 miles of 2 lane that can be very trying sometimes, especially without radio or cell reception for most of the way

Merced area central Ca. and a place in the foothills- Lake Tulloch area. We have Yosemite surrounded on 2 sides. Yes, I like the north coast , uh, where the triple junction is . The wife worked/lived in Yosemite when young. Retired intrastate trucker .
Sackatomatoes gave your age away, used by an AM radio DJ from a Bay Area station (680?) many moons ago.

Mike, I don’t remember that station or DJ, but saw lots of Mater trucks, and heard that nickname for Sacramento frequently.

I started with McCabes( now defunct) in 1988, don’t recall exactly, but it would have been in 89 or 90 that I started running to CA, out of Portland, and probably 96 or 97, when that business ended.

Never drove South of Sac, but my then Girlfriend’s Grandfather, lived not far from the warehouse in Rancho, I would have dinner with him occasionally when I was running early, and if he wanted to visit Family in the Portland area, he would ride up and back with me, one of the benefits of a Family owned business, that treated their people like Family, nowadays, with litigation being so bad, dayum near nobody allows riders anymore. It’s a shame, the industry has changed so much over the years, I don’t blame young people for not being interested in the industry

You’ve sparked memories. We used to vacation on the north coast often…..
I have tipped my share at “The Tides”

Even had dinner at the schoolhouse

Without the birds — actually a little east of Bodega Bay

Everyone else is wisely asleep at this hour.
OK- the sequel can wait

 

[Husky Man]

I should partake some of that wisdom

[bobmich52]

I vote for round ones.

I run 265/70/r 17 eldorados, They came with my jeep & were new

I rotate them twice a yr, Fall & Spring & thanks to this website , I have a life time alignment plan From Firestone,They are wearing even & well

I believe cooper makes them

Excellent on highway, low noise level & did well in the snow

As to off road, I dont know, My jeep is not going off road voluntarily

Last i looked @ Town fair tire, They were between $185/200 bucks a tire

 

[Old Jeeper]

Jeep owners ! What kinda of tires do you recommend for a wrangler looking for AT not to loud but also longevity. Do a lot of highway traveling but also go off road occasionally. Help me out!

For all-around travel, from Rocks to highways, you name it and the Goodyear DuraTrac fills the bill. Works great in rain, and dirt, and its SNOW rated.

What its NOT: Off-road it works and works well in the 6 and below trails. I would not pick it for 7++ trails in Moab.

This tire stuff is enough to make a mortal man drink. Pardon me whilst I go grab a beer... lol

I was at this house a week ago. Apparently, a guy bought it in the 60s after the movie was made and made it their family home. It's still owned by the family and they reside there. It's surrounded by trees and some houses now. The little white church shown in the movie is right next to it. But they look pretty much the same. We continued on to Bodega Bay a few miles away, where the cafe that Tippi Hendren was shown, the Tides restaurant. It burned down in the 60s and is a modern building now. There's a replica of the old front inside honoring the history. My favorite winery, Black Kite, is just a few miles away in Freestone.

The next time you’re in the area go south 1 from BB to Valley Ford . On the ocean side is an old Bar “Denucci’s” with a restaurant in the rear. The best Italian food I’ve ever had. …. I hope it hasn’t changed but worth a try, you gotta eat somewhere.
