To Be Discontinued

So I currently have over 76,000 miles on my truck. I am still running on 3 of the original tires (one of them exploded on freeway at about 40,000 miles). I have never balanced or rotated them. However, my tires need replacing now as they don’t have much tread left. So I’ve been doing a lot of research on what tires to get. However, I have found that the size, 265/75/15, and type (All Terrain) on my Colorado Z71 truck is fairly hard to find. I have checked around, called around, and no one has them “in stock”. It would take anywhere from a day to a week to get them. And the decent brands want way to much, and the crappy brands, well, they are crappy. I was about to get some Cooper tires, until I started to read reviews. I finally narrowed it down to a Firestone Destination LE, but it would take a week and a day, and they want way to much for the actual installation. I think my final answer will be the Dunlop Rover AT from Sam’s Club. I’d love to get them from Sam’s Club (but their selection is limited) because of their tire service being only $10 per tire, as compared to $15+ anywhere else, and still doesn’t include everything Sam’s Club does (like lifetime rotation and balancing). I had called the Chevy dealership to find out about getting the same tires that I had, and apparently, the General tires that I have are being discontinued. I’m still not sure what to do though, as the reviews haven’t been great any any single tire… but then there is always something bad to say.

  1. Why don’t you just take a 1000 used condoms, melt them down, make a tire and call it a good year?
