Tires aquired

[Alfalfa]

Fucking finally
Shipping got delayed, and I wasn't notified. Showed up for my appointment last week and they didn't have them in yet. Something about FedEx being slower than usual because they're doing all the shipping some sort of vaccine for some sort of pandemic.
Anyway I have matching tires now and I'm happy.

@alfalfa Truck looks like its in great shape! Is that one supercharged?

[HammerheadFistpunch]

@alfalfa If I can pull it off I am going to try and get out on Saturday for a little dirt. We'll see how it plays out.

[Alfalfa]

@ibrad Thanks! It's the NA engine with a 5 speed

[Alfalfa]

@hammerheadfistpunch Yeah this is why it's hard for me to get out with other people, I work weekends.

Nice. I made the mistake of not paying enough attention as I was ordering mine and ended up with passenger tires this week, instead of light truck, but given the fact that I haven't gone off-roading in at least 2 years, it's a reasonable choice.

Just hurts my pride a bit to be that careless. Plus that missing tread depth.

[Alfalfa]

@just-jeepin That is sad. I am sad for you. Go find some dirt. Sending thoughts and prayers.

@just-jeepin
You'd think they'd be nice enough do an exchange with that even though they were special ordered. You're just out the tougher sidewalls (and the load rating) beyond the depth. I wouldn't be too worried about sidewall tears. Some of the P metrics have better road use compounds too, like silica for wet traction...

@looseonexit I figure I'll ride it out (ha). The tires should be easier on my back, and by the time the Jeep is off-road-worthy again I can consider an upgrade.
