I bet those were on a demo truck and were pulled off so the demo could be sold with new tires. The ad doesn't seem to specify new tires although one would assume they would be. Check your invoice.

Yes. Before they even mounted the tires.

I've been around awhile and have never seen new tires look like that. Back in the day, they used to wrap new tires in heavy paper to keep the UV off of them. I replaced my POS Bridgestones with the same tire and they look nothing like that. Bought mine at Discount Tire.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

This is the reason I am asking, although my amounts are much less. 3 years ago when I bought the RAM, I thought of trading in a 2016 GMC Canyon, again perfect condition. The first dealership I went to offered me a ridiculously low offer. The reason was that Carfax showed it was in an accident...

HI Guys, Well I got run into yesterday on the way home. Other party is at fault as she ran a stop sign. Have witnesses and she fessed up to the cops so there is no question there. She was actually stopped when I first saw her but then she just started to cross as I was crossing. No traffic...

I used to try and hit Lions Dragstrip a couple of days each month. It was about a 20 mile drive for me. My usual routine was fill up on Chevron Custom Supreme (no Sunocos in So Cal), and fill up at another Chevron just before entering the strip. Depending how busy it was, you could get in 5-8...

Let's just say that I don't drive like I did back in the "Good Old Days". My 69 Z28 would average about 8-9 and 67 Hemi GTX automatic much less than that; you were filling up around the 100 mile mark....wish I still had both of those though.

Just how bad is your mileage? This is my first "real" truck and if drive normally, I get between 18-21 depending on traffic. I do use 91 Ethanol-Free gas however, I'm sure that has something to do with that.

I'm getting confused with all the different versions I keep seeing. I've got a 12" 4C in my 2021 Lonestar. Attached is a photo of my system info. I went somewhere yesterday and the GPS was way off. Should I update? Thanks in advance

This post got me thinking about something (yeah, I know that's a dangerous thing). Assuming it takes X amount of power to maintain a specific speed for a given vehicle, what difference should it make if the engine is using 4 or 8 cylinders? One would think that in 4 cylinder mode, those 4...

I got a set of the McGuards, including the locking lug. I forgot what I paid though. Not cheap as I recall; buy once, cry once:confused: The one thing I didn't care for with the black package was that the lug nuts were chrome. I replaced them with a black set and I think they make the wheels...

Thanks, I've been thinking about using google maps for awhile. I just wish it would use the full screen (12"). Also, I never continued with the Ram Connect or U connect whatever it's called.

I'm thinking of not renewing my Sirius XM subscription. Will I loose the Navi/GPS functions? I'm fairly new in my area and would be lost without it. Thanks

I got rid of those awful OEM Bridgestones that have absolutely zero wet weather traction. Went to Michelin Defenders. Better traction all around but about a 5% mileage penalty. At least I'm not looking out a side window when taking turnso_O
