anyone have any snow/icy road experience with these yet?
also- looking at the pictures here- siping seems to only be a quarter of the tread depth? Confirm this anyone? Too bad if so.
hey Guri,
Im gonna say my mileage definitely was affected and i did it all about the same time so tough to say what had a larger affect. When my tires were fresh it was also a bit better, now they are at the end of their life and not super smooth.
Driving mostly on surface streets (at 8K'...
the company that sells Bed Rug brand truck bed liners has a carpet with insulated padding below it avail. in an uncut version. Its not on their website, i called on a whim to see if they offered an uncut, unribbed 3/4" raw rug product. they do.

I have a Crewmax and LOVE it! Travel around the West has been the same as with my old Taco except we can do it easily and in style, reaching all the places we used to but with a poptop camper and kid in comfort. Granted we have some custom pinstriping :) Its no crawler, but as stated above...
