    Question on Michelin XL's (SIDEWALL WAVY)

    It is NOT a tire defect...It is simply the width of the tread pattern that makes the side walls follow the shape of the tread, Nothing at all wrong with them, they are an OFF ROAD tire primarily. and the rims are just PERFECT for an 1100 also, they will take a 1200 leagally and safly....1200...

    Recharging batteries with the engine genny???

    A set of good batts that are drained down and will not start a vehicle right after the draw down,"say lights left on." should be left to sit awhile, they can and will activate them selves depending on the quality of the units. hence seem to charge them selves, sorry but this is true....there is...

    NDCC Tire Design --> Obsolete and Unsafe?

    Every tire has a give and a take, and like so correctly said earlier, NOTHING on these trucks is safe by todays standards, singleing out the tires is silly, but thats just me, For me i have almost 40 thou on NDT's and they are safe for me as any other,In all weather, sure i could easily push...

    driving with one wheel/tire/axle off the ground
