DK, I got my spark plug pump from Dick Cepek's store also. I didn't know how to use it with my horse and wagon,
though. Neal

The 2005 ForeRunner has its second set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T tires, can't remember what the originals were when we bought the SUV. When it was
time to replace the first set of Duelers I was told that Bridgestone had changed the tire completely but kept the same name and the newer tires were
crap. Our mechanic called around and searched the web to find new old stock tires for us at the same price as the new production models. Great!
Perhaps this is why people have had very different experience with Duelers. The 'Runner has 120+ thousand miles of hiway, Borrego, and Baja and I'm
very happy with the Bridgestones....but not sure what will happen next time if I can't find the original production tires.

In Cabo I was unable to find tires that fit my daughters forerunner,had to go to a junk yard and pull them-only posting this to let folks know-new
tires are expensive here and if you cant find something in Baja never give up if you try hard enough itll work out-thx and have a blessed day.

Wow, those are the stock tires on my truck and I've never seen worse. I suppose they wore ok in some areas, there was no side ware or anything, I've
always brought it back to the dealer on 5k miles, tires rotated etc but there's no almost no tread left after 32k miles. It's where the rubber meets
the road that's shot, I don't like it. |
I think several tires in dueler line. Bridgestone dueler a/t revos are pretty good. On my 2nd set now. First set lasted over 50k miles. Stock
duelers came on my 4runner and they lasted 50k miles. If you wear out tires in 30k miles I think your problem is lead foot /jack rabbit driving...
|
I've had to replace two Duelers so far on the Tundra. Busted side walls. Probably my fault. Great highway tires - no noise at all.

I love tire threads, the same people saying the same things. Tires and trucks, one vs another, over and over. Most of my tire issues are because of
me not the tire. I drive to fast, don't air down, air down to much, over load and drive to fast, Drive to fast over rocky places, you get the idea.
Any tire that get me home without changing is a good tire. I prefer to drive on The best tire I can = a bit more expensive.
