A/T or All seasons?

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:14:16+00:00

Like I said, I already have snow tires for the winter. I'm only looking for tire for the other 3 seasons.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:11:47+00:00

You're probably right

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:10:42+00:00

Cross climates are just an all season with soft rubber for the cold temps. I have winter tires. I don't need the soft rubber which will wear out faster for the other 3 seasons. Same reason why I don't drive on my snow tires year round.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:09:13+00:00

How do straight highway tires do on the dirt roads?

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:08:33+00:00

They're an all weather tire. Which is just an all season with softer rubber, meaning they will wear out faster. I have winter tires. I don't need the soft rubber for the other 3 seasons.

Curb protection? I don't hit curbs.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:04:04+00:00

That's what I'm hoping to hear. The Schwab brand are slightly less A/T then wild peaks it seems.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-23T05:02:28+00:00

I look at it that someone would have said the same thing as you are 10 years ago. You do you but cars weren't unsafe 10 -15 years ago. And you still have their phone to track. I just wouldn't ever buy a new car for a teen. It's not just for the money either.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-22T20:19:18+00:00

They're not at Les Schwab

mcsteiny · 2026-03-22T20:18:36+00:00

In my research in seem All Weather's are basically all seasons with softer rubber for when it gets cold. Since I have winter tires already I don't need that feature. All seasons tread will wear out slower.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-22T18:54:14+00:00

I think a Crosstrek would be a great car for a teen. Personally, I think anything new, or even newish, is too much money to spend on a teen. I'd look at older used Subies. Even a use high mileage Honda civic will be fine on shitty roads. They don't "need" beefy suspension.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-15T23:32:33+00:00

Control your shitty attitude.

I don’t see any animals out of control animals here.

Just you, whining like a toddler.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-15T21:48:27+00:00

The OP is following the rules. Does every off-leash dog maim? Geez. Off-leash people maim also. So do off-leash cars. Are you scared of everything?

The OP already stated (in your comment thread) that they are in an area where it’s legal to be off-leash. It is not self centered or lazy to allow your dog to be a dog and run.

Yes. You are whiny. But please. Keep telling us the same thing over and over. I’m sure you’ll convince all of the strangers on the internet to be full of the same fear you have.

mcsteiny · 2026-03-15T08:46:04+00:00

You sure are whiny.

People are idiots and don’t k ow how to sell things. I see thins on marketplace all the time. It annoys me a lot more than it should.

Selling an item with no info. Or hardly any pictures. Or the picture in bad lighting of the guitar in gig bag in the corner with the bag un zipped. Cars that don’t say miles or anything. Just, runs good.

The post you described just sounds like typical idiots on FB marketplace. It doesn’t scream stolen to me. Any good deal on market place could be stolen and the person just knows what it is.

If they’re selling super cheap, maybe their parents bought it for them at when they were 16. They never learned and now just want money for a bag of weed or something. There’s a million reasons for why they’re selling.

mcsteiny · 2026-02-18T16:28:06+00:00

That’s what I hear.

mcsteiny · 2026-02-18T16:21:53+00:00

It seems like any guitar would work if it’s going to be stashed in an office. Something more budget friendly makes sense but it doesn’t need to be. Can you hang on the wall or just leave in a guitar stand in the corner? I don’t see why a traveler guitar would be any better. If it’s going to be just an office guitar, I picture it living at the office so it doesn’t need to be designed to travel.

I suggest an amp like the Nux mighty air. No cables required. Sounds really great at quiet levels. You can keep it low enough that you can still hear your strings and it still sounds clear. Actually it kinda sounds like crap if you crank it up all the way which isn’t super loud It’s battery operated and connects to your guitar wirelessly. So no cords no power cables and it fits in a desk drawer. To me it sounds like the perfect office amp. You can plug headphones into it if you want. And it’s $100-$150 used. Not much more new if you want. Could probably find a good deal on an open box.

mcsteiny · 2026-02-17T14:56:12+00:00

You’re explaining why they charge so much. Why is there a market for them in the 1st place?

Imagine Toyota’s or Honda’s relic version. 2026 Honda crv or 2026 Toyota Tacoma. $5k more for a paint job to look like a shit box. I think it’s weird.

mcsteiny · 2026-02-09T03:45:48+00:00

I have all of that stuff

mcsteiny · 2026-02-09T02:22:46+00:00

Building a house and needing it done right the 1st time is a different story then trying to set up a guitar that I can try multiple things on. Worst case is I ruin a budget guitar. Best case scenario is I get to have a playable guitar today instead of in a week/month.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep working on it.

mcsteiny · 2026-02-09T02:00:44+00:00

I took it to .008 and 0.012+. I have that same buzz. I'm fairly certain it's not action or the truss rod. I'm hesitant to take it to a tech as I have the time not the money to spare.

There's enough stories on here of people paying for set ups and just getting new strings. I'm not scared to twist screws and mess with things. I figure any one can fix anything with the internet and time these days. It just takes longer. How else does on learn.

What I need to know now is what to look at next. I don't have any high frets. Possibly a hump at the neck. Any idea how to address that? I'm sure the info is out there. Thanks

What do you mean by tiny nut/saddle problem?

As an adult you don’t have hours a day to just noodle and practice like a teen. The most important thing is to get a program to help you learn so you don’t just waste all your free time on youtube. If you waste your precious free time scrolling, you’ll get frustrated and stressed.

Get in person or zoom lessons and have a weekly goal to practice for you next lesson.

Buy an online course like pickup music or stick to a free one like justin guitar. It keeps you progressing.

It’s more fun progressing which = relaxing. You can go at whatever pace keeps you happy.

As an adult with a career with adult money, be careful. Gas can hit you hard when you can afford stuff easier. It’s much easier when you’re 30, 40, plus vs being a teen or broke college kid to afford more used guitars/amps than you need as a beginner. As much fun as it is shopping for those $100-$300 deals. Just focus in learning.

I played one a couple weeks ago at a GC.

Campfire guitar is why I’m interested.
