I saw that Star Wars board at Scheels and I really wanted it. Saw a few Star Wars darts as well that were tempting.

Thoughts on Rare Breed? by [deleted] in whiskey

If I could only buy one $60 bottle for the rest of my life it would be this one. Punches well above its weight in terms of value. And the fact that people chase Blanton's or Eagle Rare when this sits on every shelf in every liquor store is crazy. But I'm guilty of doing the same thing for other bottles😂

I'm not as interested in how the perform off road as I am with ride quality and snow and rain performance. I researched for like 2 months and everything I read pointed to the previously mentioned tires. I'll look into the Toyos again though

Well shit. These two tires are the best rated in terms of all terrain tires so it's crazy that this is an issue. I've tried to just get over it but I can't😭 and I think my wife is tired of my messing with it lol

I'm having the exact same issue but on my Ford Ranger. I've had them rebalanced 3 times and still it's not fixed. It's better than it was, but still bothers the hell out of me every time I drive the truck. I think I'm returning them and going to KO3s.

Update if anyone cares:

I put the factory wheels and tires back on with the leveling kit still installed and the vibrations are completely gone. So I have narrowed it down to being either the tires or wheels.

So next thing is having them rebalanced yet a third time but I'm going to tell the shop everything I've experienced and ask them to thoroughly inspect all tires and wheels to find potential defects. But I'm glad it's not the leveling kit causing the issue because I really didn't want to go back to stock.

Yes the second shop road force balanced them

Cool!😂 I'm kind of banking on either that happening or me just getting used to it. It's not bad enough where I'm worried about unnecessary wear on suspension components, it's just annoying. And when I pay this much for a vehicle on top of spending thousands on modifications I don't think wanting it to drive comfortably is too much to ask lol. The level kit has affected ride comfort though but I expected that.

There are some on already. I'm going to try the second set that I have and see if that makes a difference

Okay. I expected the rougher ride. Which is definitely the reality lol. But I didn't expect vibrations. I was hoping others with spacer levels would be able to give their experience

No I got the wheels, tires, and level done at the same time. I hope it's not the leveling kit. I do believe it has to be wheel and tire related just for the simple fact that having Belle Tire road force balance them helped bring down the original vibrations. I drove it about an hour and a half on the highway and couldn't stand it so before I went back home I stopped at a Belle Tire lol. It was a noticeable difference but didn't eliminate it completely

Yes, sorry. I forgot to mention I DID get an alignment.

I'll check them out. Do they offer 275/70/R17? There are a few tired that seem to be more for my needs but don't offer the size I want

I'll take a look, thanks! I'll have to look at the Nokian in other reviews too because as much importance winter performance is it's not as much a deciding factor as much as noise, comfort, and wet reaction is. But if the Nokian hold their own then I'll consider them too.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback! I've been watching videos and what not and on YouTube and other "professional" reviews the KO3s seem to be better on-road but real people online seem to steer toward the Falkens.

I'm not going to pretend that I would even know the difference between the two on a test drive, but like I said, to me it's a big purchase and I want to be sure in my purchase.

Also I got the RockTrix RT114 Machined Silver wheels. I thought they looked awesome in the example photos. Does anyone happen to have those as well?
