Buzzkill for me since I jumped the gun Michelin just posted a $110 rebate for DTD online orders. Oct 15-17. Stackable with the $60 DTD card use discount.
Get some!

Any experience with Cooper Snow Claw? Le Schwab is pushing them as comparable to the Blizzak and available in a 33" tire for an F150.

Just to add another data point to tire availability- I Was at Costco in Murray Utah today and inquired about 275/65/18 blizzak tires. Guy said they’re going on sale next week and to buy them ASAP as they are available currently but expected to sell our.
Furthermore, The team was briefed this week on upcoming shortage of snow tire supply and expects sellouts in many sizes.
They did also have BFG ko2 in LT size for my tundra in stock locally but not many left.

That tidbit about Nokian moving production here is great news.

Agreed. I think there will be several more tire plants built in the USA, and I also know several existing tire plants that are working on expanding production. A bitch to find workers though. Although most tire plants are super modern and the amount of people needed to build a tire these days is a fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

FWIW: I just bought two sets of 235/65/16 Nokian WR C3's for our Transit AWD. Local shop said the distributors warehouse in denver where they source from had "plenty"

Scwab is a crook. They push tires with the highest margins. And all big name brands are always 10-15 % more than any other place
I went in to LS to have a tire plugged. They removed the wheel, then told me the tire was too side wall checked to patch it and I had to buy a new set of tires, their excuse was it was "illegal" to put the old tires back on. My dad took the rig in and I think I hurt the poor guy at Schwab telling him on the phone what I thought about being corrupt liars...they ended up putting on the spare, I was on my way down to put it on myself. Fucking thieves are Schwabs. Put new tires on at Costco, same tires as OEM for 40% less than what Schwab quoted
Point is, they could easily see the tires condition without removing it, but that's their scam
I put less than 10k on that rig before I sold it. Those tires would have lasted

I put the x-ice on. This was my spare set so they are at least 7 years old. Initially they were pretty smooth but have developed a pretty good vibration at 60 or so. I’ll chew them up this winter and see how it goes. Not worth rebalancing.

I picked up a set of Hakkapeliitta 9's in the stock size (265/70R17) for my 4Runner a couple weeks ago and was shocked by how cheap they were. I ended up paying $182/tire.
I'm not sure if I've ever purchased a set of tires for less than $200/piece.

Had Hakka 8, R2, R3 and the new gen R3 is just quieter on the highway. Seems to get me to the hill the same on bad days so works for me. A lot of the ride is to the hill and road noise can ruin my jazz
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

After many years in different mountain locations I finally joined the party. Epic mag hookup on Hakkas with studs and TRD wheels for my Tundra. Fucking night and day. When it's -15 and the road is that rock hard WHITE slick.....wow what a difference.

If anyone is interested in a set of studless Hakkas for a 4Runner or Taco shoot me a pm. About to put these on Craigslist in Burlington. 265/70/17 Hakka R2 SUV with plenty of tread left. Rims are alloy from Sport Edition, cheap on tire rack. I didn’t like the silver finish so I Plasti-dipped 3 years ago. Seems to be holding up decently but as I understand it, the plasti dip should peel off if you dislike it.
Probably list on Craigslist for $550-$600 in the hopes of getting $500. Mag price would be $400.
