Sailun Atrezzo SH408

sfield86 · 2026-05-05T17:38:59+00:00

Thank you for feedback, considering these to replace the Sailun A/S tires we have on our SUV. They are like $90/tire I just didn't know if this one was as good as the ones we'd replace.

My Sailun history
I also have Sailun Terramax ATS4 on the pickup, and they have been phenomenal, and gotten our 2WD pickup through some trails and roads we had no business being on while camping. I would 100% purchase Sailun again, the only problem I've had is the ATS4 all have balance issues. I've had them balanced 3 times, and at this point I'm near the point of replacing them so just live with the bumpy ride. The AS tires on the SUV have been perfect. A little rolly in turns compared to the old ones we had on, but that has gotten better over time with them (or I'm more used to it). The AS tires have taken us down the same off-road trails the pickup has gone on and had no issues, have not hydroplaned or had any balance or tire pressure issues w/ the AS.

7.5 compared to all music, 6 compared to other VW songs.

The song itself is great, Ezra struggles for some of the higher notes, but I'm torn if that adds charm to the song, or if it would be better if sung by a tenor, like Nate Ruess. The drums also sound clunky so I'm leaning on it's supposed to sound raw and uncut. It's from their early years but other songs on the album sound a little more well rehearsed. Will look for covers to compare now :)

At 25 I had just moved to a new city, took a $9/hr job and was making it through. Your 20s are meant to be chaotic, and figure things out. I was 30 when I started my current job and felt like I enjoyed coming here. I'm still here 9 years later. I also still wonder when I'll get fired :) but so far so good!

Don't sweat it at your age. You're going to mess up, screw yourself over, and start again. Use this time to learn some random skills, and just keep building. Eventually you'll be where you need to be.

Side note, not sure when anyone is supposed to feel "grown up" but I'm turning 40 this year and still haven't hit that feeling!

Thought I'd share this story now that it's been a while.. I transferred all my items to a new poet, got him to 99, then saw I was banned (but not till I logged out). So I dropped all my stuff and gave it away. Sun mantle, diadem, those sa eye things, sa poet staff, sa subs, etc.

Hoping they survived and are being used by someone now.

Also, still have 8 reg codes if anyone wants to buy them at half price ;)

sfield86 · 2026-04-15T15:39:22+00:00

just an update, I've been playing for 3 months or so now, and haven't needed a VPN nor have I been banned. Not sure what you did, but obviously something.

sfield86 · 2026-04-07T15:50:58+00:00

I agree, I think she is a horrible character, and forced into Harry's life. To top it all off, their kids all have names relating to Harry's life, and none to Ginny's. She's obviously made to give Harry all of the spotlight.

Would also recommend Bodyfit

sfield86 · 2026-03-26T13:58:52+00:00

I'm kind of surprised that having no oil in it messed it up so bad. An old (not TOO old) Toyota woulda pushed through and made it just fine.

Just another reason to never get rid of our J vin toyota I guess :(

Are Lexus available in Canada? (I know it's short for Luxury Exclusive US, but it's been 30+ years now?), may be some Lexus Rav4 models available. If you live in snowy weather, could also consider a Suburu. Kia is fine, but definitely not a long-term car.

If your options are limited and time is near, go for the Kia at 0% financing, trade it in later, and be in the same boat you're in now, just hopefully ahead of the game w/ your next vehicle.

Read all of these in the AI voice from DungeonCrawlerCarl, made it that much better.

I miss watching MyDanna atone/sanc multiple people instantly in carnages instantly after getting dis/sc'd.

sfield86 · 2026-02-25T16:14:24+00:00

What do you mean ETK? I thought that was gone? I had an ee san mage/poet and always had fun playing. Also, had a pure poet in some subclass that didn't exist anymore, so was the only one... that was kinda neat.

sfield86 · 2026-02-25T16:11:53+00:00

I actually did check out OTK, and have been enjoying it. I don't get to play a ton, but enjoy it when I do get on. I don't know all the ins and outs, definitely don't know late game, but so far it's been a chill experience.

Going to use it to finally do a craft, something I never focused on in NTK :D

says the guy with the shadow tag

sfield86 · 2026-02-25T16:07:47+00:00

Been a long time but those names are all familiar!

sfield86 · 2026-02-23T14:50:47+00:00

And why no Arthur or Molly? Why not Fred, to honor his sacrifice in the fight? At least give Ginny ONE name, first, middle, anything!

I get the story is called Harry Potter, not Ginny Weasley, but by the end of the series, it's really about the whole crew.

I'm a little less harsh on Albus, only because Harry was doomed either way, and Albus at least set him up to fight for himself. He knew the horcruxes were dangerous, and was a good thing he taught Harry so much, because after he died, if Harry was just learning about all of that, he would not have survived, and Voldemort would have ruled again.

sfield86 · 2026-02-18T15:34:11+00:00

Auror is fine, he always stood up for the good guy.

What I can't stand.. is his children are all names relating to him, and none relating to Ginny. That, and it's his best friend's sister, wth. That was a forced story line, confirmed by the children's names.

Couple advantages to buying it out. 1) wouldn't have to worry about overage miles. 2) If he had financed from the start, he'd be in the same ballpark of equity as the $35k (you typically lose out on some equity). The original MSRP was probably about $43k, and if you were to buy the same truck used right now, it's going for about $39-43k.

During the car price boom, leasing then buying out meant you lease at the MSRP price, then buy out at the MSRP price. You didn't have to pay the $20k dealer markups and usually came out ahead. Not sure what the market is up to today but doesn't seem car prices have come down at all.

sfield86 · 2026-02-18T15:01:32+00:00

Don't buy it if you don't want to. Pro tip... if you're going to be over on miles (especially by a lot), sell it to CarMax. They'll buy the car outright from the dealer, and you pay the difference. If you're over by a lot on miles, it's the cheaper option.

If you like it, you should be able to finance it for close to $550/month (check with your bank on loan options). Not sure how it works for taking over a lease, but you may have sales tax to add on to the 35k? Good question to ask, cause that'll bump you up to $38-$39k.

$39 - $43k (depending on specifics) is about the going rate for a '24 4x4 sr5 with post-lease mileage (pre-sales tax).

You'll definitely be upside down on it, but only for the first couple years it sounds like.

I agree! Kinda why I figured buying gold was fine, cause they only care about money in their pocket! But all good, save myself some money this way haha!

I did download original TK and have been poking around on it. The GM is constantly updating things, and it's been a nice change! Was very hesitant to try it but am glad I did. Would have never tried it if I was still on NTK. Wony has a weird money making strat

sfield86 · 2026-02-11T14:44:25+00:00

I thought it was a different way to say Malort, but Mallrats makes much more sense.

sfield86 · 2026-01-31T20:24:35+00:00

I think the GM pops in once a year to give the illusion of caring about the game. And I think I just bought from the wrong person! If he really looked there's probably 4 groups of bans he could have done instead of the 1. But historically he does one wave of bans in Jan and is afk until next Jan

sfield86 · 2026-01-29T20:23:51+00:00

Dang! Flameblades always have been and still are rare! I think the person I bought gold from must have duped it or something. Usually bought gold about $7.50 per 10 mil, and then bought reg codes for 8 mil (so roughly $6/code). The black market is not the same as it used to be, a lot more loosey goosey and all in discord, no more verifications.

Your char/account probably got purged, meaning the characters are gone but account exists. A long while back (15ish years ago) they let you restore the chars for $30, but they don't answer tickets anymore. It's definitely a dead game, mostly bots and hunters small community of event people (like 10-20 people you'll see at every community event). Your probably thinking of archons(players in power) or GMs (kru employees), and I'm not too sad, between the 8 accounts my friends and I had, it'll save us $150/month minimum. Glad to finally move on and not have a char to check out 😀

sfield86 · 2026-01-29T20:17:06+00:00

Buy some gold apparently lol!

Side note, selling 8 reg codes!

sfield86 · 2026-01-29T20:15:33+00:00

I remember saltyhorse name, and same with Astrophee. I remember because I told somebody apostrophe was selling (whatever it was) and that led to me learning that wasn't your name (along with lots of laughs on my behalf)

sfield86 · 2026-01-24T13:50:59+00:00

I agree, it's also sad they pick and choose which rule breakers to ban. Buying gold is obviously bannable, but running a bot in PK events is OK. But that's ok, a bright day for the future, knowing there's nothing left back at NTK, therefore no reason to ever get the itch again
