Well, I'm about 400 miles into the Falkens. Huge improvement over the BFG All-Terrain T/A (KO2). So much quieter, and I no longer feel like the vehicle has suspension problems. Handling is much improved. Had them on easy dirt once, but it was wet with some mud and wet leaves, and they felt...

Ordered the Falken Wildpeak AT3 10 ply. Thanks for all the advice!

Stopped at both major tire shops in town today. One said no on the 4S for trails use, and the other advisor runs them on his mom's hunting truck, and sells a lot of them to people w/4WDs, but wouldn't recommend them for rock crawling on sharp rock. But, he says they're being discontinued. He...

That looks like a great value on a compressor!

Like I said in the OP, I've only ever needed them once. Like you, I will generally try to avoid driving if I think it's gong to be that bad. Other side of the story: The once I needed them I was out on the road and miles from anywhere. It wasn't a law, it was physics. Another, time driving...

Well, I asked on the local 4x4/trails FB group and a lot of folk are running them successfully on the trails. People have them on trucks, work trucks, Wranglers, Cherokees, etc and all express satisfaction. I also found a review based out of SLC and the reviewer ran them on mountain and sand...

Well, I got these. They go on easy, and I guess if I should ever need them, they'll do the job. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CQ6DK8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

We had the AT3 XLT's on our Ram 3500 Diesel that we recently sold. So I know that tire reasonably well. We thought it was a pretty good tire for the behemoth.

I appreciate the offer. But I think I've found some local options.

2011 Pro-4X. Will be used street, mountain highway, mountain winters, and trails (not rock crawling, not lifted, no winch). BFG All-Terrain T/A (KO2) came on it when I bought it in July. They seem nearly new. One has evidently had an internal separation and I'm advised to change out at...

Asked again on local FB forum and am getting more options this time! Looks like there are at least three shops that don't come up on a Google search.

Well, I found a 4x4 shop here in Cortez, but can't get through to them by phone... mailbox full. Might try to wander in tomorrow. Found another shop in Durango but they aren't taking new work as they are too far behind. I asked them, by voicemail, if they could recommend somebody. If we need...

This is in general, because by the time I'm done it will involve suspension, brakes and tires, and I guess it will be long and convoluted.... I got the new to me 2011 PRO-4X at the end of July with 110k miles and knew from the test drive that it needed new suspension. The vehicle is tippy...

Passenger Vehicle Chain Law: All passenger vehicles weighing less than 16,001 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) must have tire chains or alternate traction devices (ATD) installed on two or more drive tires. It is unlawful to proceed when a state highway is closed or to proceed when a...

Here in CO we can be required to install tire chains or alternate traction devices during winter driving conditions. I usually carry chains, although so far have never had to install them, thank goodness. I've got the 265/75 16 tires. The owner's manual says to get Class S. Just wondering...
