Finnish tires
I have a set of Finnish made tires i purchased from The Tire Factory in Portland Oregon. I just rechecked my milage on these and after 50,000 miles there is still 50% tread left! The Ford had 31,000 mile when I put them on and I now have 81,000 miles. This is with 10,000+ miles of towing. I am amazed with these and just had to share, no I have no connection with these, just one very satisfied customer. I remember getting 20 to maybe 30,000 mile and thinking that was real good.

Yes they are Nokian. They were purchased when I bought the truck at 31,000 miles and now it has 81,000 miles on it. Here are some pictures. (I think) https://picasaweb.google.com/chetkin...eat=directlink

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but what is the "Custom anti-theft device proven to work)?
Thanks,
Dick

Someone tried to steal my F-250 which is an easy steal the police tell me. But mine wouldn't move for the bum even though he tried, even had it in 4x4. I went into the circuit that prevents you from putting the tv into drive unless you put your foot on the brake peddle, you know which one I mean? I just "broke" that circuit and put in a hidden switch. It just will not go into drive without flipping the switch. Next project, Step on the brake peddle and the horn honks unless you can find the other hidden switch.
I only had a $300 deductible for a new door lock and ignition switch instead of a lost truck.
