Nice new shoes Ian! It was definitely time for those old tires to go. Any reason you didn't go with something a little beefier?

That makes a lot of sense. I would definitely downsize or get much more sensible tires if I had to drive my truck every day...

yup. there's a bit of road whir, but they did really well on the freeway this morning. the tread depth is much deeper, too, so i should be a lot better-off for this time around

you're asking the person who spent 2 nights outside in a trailer with supplies to spend the week...



yeah, i'm good here. my neighbors are sol, i have power. i got power cords running across the back yard and across the street. power lines are still down on my street and our ford got extremely lucky



(branch was in middle of street, truck parked on curb, tree ~10 feet from curb next to truck; left to right)
