Yeah, that's just bad advice. There's gravel and filth in the plastic drain trough.

Put an empty catch can under the oil filter drain trough, then after you replace the filter you'll no about how much oil you'll need to add. ;)

From the Discount Tire Website: Hankook Dynapro ATM, The OEM tires that came on my Ranger ________________________________________________________________ The Michelin tires we recently had installed

Kind of sounds like there is a furry woodland creature stuck in the intake.

I guess the best way to summarize this is most folks like the look of a lift and bigger tires on our Rangers. Both will result in additional wear on the driveline components, compared to the stock OEM configuration. The question is how much premature wear.... and do you, as the owner of the...

You're previous post was misleading, as is proven by this post: Fact is, the tire diameter does change if all you do is go from a 265-65-17 (stock size for most Rangers) to a 285-65-17, that's the point being made. I just replaced my 265-65-17 Hankooks with 265-65-17 Michelins... and the...

Compare the actual diameters of the tires and you'll find that the diameter does vary, as an example the only difference in the tires below is one is a 265 and the other is a 285, but both are 65 aspect ratio. Cooper DISCOVERER AT3 LT 265-65-17 Dia. 30.5 inches Cooper DISCOVERER AT3 LT...

One other question: Are you running the oem stock tire size?

Thanks Sid. That's also good to know about the lack of brake pad wear. Looking forward to reading your updates on the transmission.

I'm not judging in anyway whatsoever. Just hoping to learn from his experiences.

I am curious as to what driveline mod's you have done to your truck?

I was wondering the same thing, not for my truck, but merely as if this is a possibility. Hopefully somebody will respond with actual 1st hand knowledge. If the ABS looks at the current speed of each wheel and doesn't compare it with the other wheels speed, then it may not be an issue. Think...

Hmm... The Michelins don't look more aggressive than the Hankook AT M's? Michelins ______________________________________________________________ Hankooks

On the green Model A Tudor Sedan shown above in the photo's.... how do you get in and out of the car? My old '31 Ford does great in the snow... (not)

Well, I kind of knew that would be the answer. Got a link you could share to the data? Trust but Verify

I've always wondered, in this analysis, do they include all the ICE and fossil fuel powered power plants that are used to: mine all the materials, reclaim the mines, ship the materials to the manufacturer, recycle the car and battery when they are no longer viable.

Exactly. If they are so great, why am I and my fellow taxpayers paying for the subsidies, so folks wealthier than me can buy them? If they are truly better, let capitalism prove that. And another thing, some of us live out in the sticks. To get to a Home Depot is a 1-1/2 hour trip. So they...

When in doubt, use it, that's what it is there for. I've driven mid size 4x4's since 1992. I remember having the same questions as you are asking. If the road has slick spots and dry spots, I don't hesitate to use 4 high. Now if I'm in 4 high and come to a curve in the road and the road...

Might be the rubber compound. Hankooks are hard, try sticking your fingernail into them... Michelins are a much softer compound... which is really a good thing on ice. I'm thinking this ^^^^ is the biggest factor in mpg decrease with the Michelins.

Both the Hankooks and the Michelins are A/T You have to look at the specific dimensions of whatever tires you buy... they all vary somewhat Michelins ------------------------------------------------------------ Hankook
