It’s gets around 20 mpg. You don’t notice the small motor with the 8 speed. I run around all loaded up . I don’t think it could handle a trailer,but that would never happen anyway.

Most likely and mostly to do with cost, I am going to go with Copper something or other? I've used Cooper winter tires now for quite a few years and they are wearing/working excellent, imo. My father purchased some Copper Continental's or something like that and he loves them. Says they are one of the best riding tires he has ever had, and he is 80 yrs old. Because I already have dedicated snows, I want more of a hwy tire than an all season but I will likely have a tough time finding those as they will be a 20" truck tire, obviously. Motomaster apl your size in lt 4 for under 800 bucks. I put these on my truck. Best tire i have had on it for highway use. Retty sure it s a cooper.

I'll have to do a comparison when the time comes to see who sells them cheaper, CT or Taunton Tire? https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/tires/pdp/motomaster-apl-tire-0051003p.html Thanks for the info.

Scratch that it entered 20s but displyed 18s Edited September 17, 2019 by ManOnManOral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch that it entered 20s but displyed 18s I thought the link did that to me as well. I seen the sale price but when I entered my size, it showed no sale. I'm pretty sure Taunton Tire will be tough to beat. No one that I know sells Coopers for less around these parts. I don't know if the link will work but if not, type in 13 Ram 1500 Bighorn and you will see my options. Unfortunately, no prices. https://www.tauntontire.com/Shop-For-Tires?view=SR&vlb=vlb&width=275&aspect=60&rim=20&Brand=-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
