Hakkas don’t have to be studded. They make both with or without. Around here the rule of thumb is 60 f or above in regular temps is no bueno on snows. Anything below it generally is menial wear. Your mileage may literally vary though and these are old timer wive tails.

Well ain’t this a bitch.
300 miles on the new tires and a fucking nail.
Heading to Les Schwab tomorrow, hopefully repairable. If not I have a warranty but would have to deal with the assholes at Big O Tires for the replacement.

Yea. That’s my hope. There’s some cheap repair kits for this but I’d rather let a pro do it.

Good skill to learn to do yourself in non emergency time.

its funny to me that the way a tire is plugged is by first making a much larger hole

Truck Tire Time
Shout out to Les Schwab. They fixed it for free and I didn’t even buy the tires there.
It wasn’t a nail but a broken piece of tire chain.

Shit. I was just about to give them all my future business even though they don’t carry Michelin.

America’s tire / discount tire (same company) has a similar free simple repair service as LS, sells all the brands LS doesn’t, price matches to online retailers (tirerack), and has an full-life no questions asked warranty for like $20 per wheel.
If there is one in your hood there is no reason not to buy from them....

Discount Tire is good. When I lived in Kirkland that was my shop. Now I’m out in Snoqualmie so North Bend Les Schwab is best.
Big O Tires in Issaquah is pretty shitty if you ask me. Unmasked rep at the register, scratched up my rims doing my alignment, left all that white shit all over outside of my new tires. Not to mention the overall attitude they give you when you walk in is “shit, you’re making me work” kinda cold shoulder. Done with that place.

I just had a pretty good experience with Discount Tire. They were cheaper than Les Schwab on Nokian LT3's (neither shop stocked but could order). Also, they messed up on getting them in when they said they would & further discounted the install totally unprompted. Despite the delay in getting tires on the vehicle, the owning of the issue and the pricing both have got me satisfied.

I had a brand new pair of Michelins get a huge nail a couple years ago with about 500 miles. Must be a natural law or something.

Big Os are independently owned to my knowledge. I buy my tires from one and they’re great. Next one over also has a good reputation.

Discount Tire has always treated me well, even as mentioned, repairing tires for free that I didn't buy there, and replacing a tire I did buy there but didn't buy the road hazard warranty.

Who has 19.5s with snowflake tires? Thinking of upgrading but neither the Rickson nor Vision buying experience inspires confidence.

Agreed, but in the winter...that which is a minus in spring-fall adds to traction, added to the fact that the tread obviously gives more in a winter tire.
It's my Grabber Arctic's second winter and the tire hasn't lost any traction, although we'll see if/when we get 12"+...(whatever she's said..;-)).

What tire am I? Need 275 55 20 or damn close [20 x 9 wheel] Tundra 4x4
Read avg to mixed reviews on new to me Bridgstone factory tires - Dueler HL Alenza.. Ordering wheel set. Dump these tires or mount em up?
Priorities in order
-Wet weather performance
-handling performance
-road noise
-snow performance
-wear life
-off road capabilities
Any thoughts or experience specific to that tire range appreciated. It’s seems like a broad ask but this tire size rolls off the line on all Tahoe variants, some Tundra, and more.
