Truck looks awesome but it is a discrace to such a nice truck that they put goodyears on them.
I am looking forward to having something decent on there. I keep hearing the RSA's suck, but I haven't had any issues.
Of course, haven't really pushed it.

I would bet $50 that atleast one of the tires will seperate long before they are worn out. Goodyear sucks in every aspect and the RSA is not a stand out in the line up.

My stock RSAs are needing replaced. I'm not sure what a good all season tire is.

BTW, yes, that is the best color on the TBSS.

Looking at the Hankook's....look like a decent tire.
As long as they last for a decent amount of miles that is probably what I will get.

Going through the snow isn't a problem for my Goodyear Eagle GT's. Best tire I have ever owned!

Why buy another car when you have a 4 wheel drive truck?

Gas mileage for one. I make several longer drives each week. I knew what I was getting into when I bought it when it comes to the mileage, which is why I kept my Grand Am.
Plus, it looks like I will have the TBSS for a while, so less miles can't hurt that cause. I mostly was driving it when I had my daughter.
Planning on stall and bolt-on's soon as well. Should drop the mileage a touch further....

I had the green.....

wow....what sort of vertical drop is this? I live in Michigan and our skiing is like a bump compared to this. I really need to make a trip out west to ski.

Honestly not sure.
That particular shot is from Breckenridge....found this.
3,241 feet (the 3,398 reported requires hiking)
(At an elevation of 12,840 feet, Peak 9's "Imperial Express Superchair" quad is the highest CHAIRLIFT elevation in North America and Europe, and the highest multi-passenger CHAIR in the world)

I skied at Breckenridge and that place is great. I also skied Copperhead, Arapaho Basin, Keystone and Vail which are close by.

Very beautiful land up that way.
My parents have a timeshare up in Breck, so I take advantage. Very nice resort.
