Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

Michelin builds tars here in the great state of Salkerlina so it ain't all frogs makin em.  I don't know if they build car tars up there, but I know they build those monster off-road tars that are like 16ft diameter and won't fit in a container, so they have containers with open tops that they

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

The Nokians came in yesterday. $35 to mount and balance 2, no stems. THey are round, built 4716, so they are about a year old. I'm guessing they were cheap because they aged out. Still should be good for 4 yrs or so. They were built in RUSSIA! I never had rooskie tars before! Andrew

HF Tools are weird. I bought one of their $15 4 1/2" angle grinders last week to have at camp. Its first job was to sharpen the blades on the bush hog. Its nearly as good as my Makita, other than the switch is cheezy its a very good grinder.HF sells really good grinding/cutting wheels too,

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

I had one of those from HF. It didn't even get a lug nut off of my daughter's car before it broke. Long cheater bar worked. MG Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: Thats a good idea, they make those torque multiplying things too, one of those should work too. -Curt On Wednesday, October

Factory specs for torque on the lugnuts on my truck is 150#. I have started to carry a socket and a long breaker bar as I doubt I could get a wheel off using the wrench that came with the truck. RB On 18/10/2017 1:37 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: I've found that the use of torque

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

I've found that the use of torque wrenches is over blown. If you rattlegun the lugnut down to 150#, the torque wrench will click over at 80# no problem. I once had to take my car back to a tire retailer because I couldn't get the lugs off no matter what. Which reminds me, at camp last week I

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

I would add that I was suitably impressed to see that Costco has a calibrated test stand where they were checking their torque wrenches before starting the day in the shop. Rattle guns are the bane of tire changing. -D > On Oct 18, 2017, at 2:18 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

Just checked with Costco. Bzzzt!! Wrong! Unless you buy a branded tire (Kirkland?) made specifically for the warehouse, the brand name tires are identical to the same name tire sold elsewhere. Also, the warranty booklet says you can have the tire repaired or replaced by any Michelin approved

I am all too aware of this, having known about the Dead Sam’s Michelins from some years ago. For the money I’ll roll the dice, and it’s not like there aren’t Costcos darned near everywhere you go these days. I am going to be asking them about this when I pick it up just for a current take on

Re: [MBZ] Tars Wuz: Polishing Glass

Bear in mind that cosco, deadsams or wally land Mitchelins are not REAL mitchelins. Only cosco will warranty yours. I will not buy any tars from any of those places unless it is an emergency. Dan Penoff via Mercedes October 18, 2017 at 12:51 PM I had a flat on

I had a flat on Monday morning. Drove out of the garage, turned on to the street, noticed that the car seemed to be pulling to the let a bit. Pulled over, stopped, got out and took a look. Left front tire was flat as a board. I had driven close to a block on it, so I’m sure I probably

the Nokians are supposed to show up today. Shipped from Tulsa, so Klen is not too fur from somebody that sell em cheap. Discount tar direct was a few bux higher, but they were willing to meet the price. They did not have em in stock though, and Tulsa did. We will see in 3-5 yrs how well
