General machinist. Interview went well today, got my fingers crossed!
Sweet! Good luck man!

Should be getting some pretty good hours considering all the good stuff Savage has been pumping out lately.



As for the tire talk, I don't need tires.

I run Cooper ST/C LT265/75/16 on the Dodge, they are quiet, get really good traction, and are 10 plys. Set of 4 is $900+tax mounted and balanced.

ON the Ford I decided to give Kenda a try, running M/T 265/85/16, they are either 8 or 10 ply, and are REALLY quiet and get even better traction than the coopers. They are a little less expensive, around $750 for a set of 4.

http://s1142.photobucket.com/albums/...t=CAM00100.jpg that's the STT's compared to the A/T i had, the coopers aren't that noisy just like if you have around some...hundreds ...of thousands of bees, they handle very good

Oh ya our wonderful "free" health care sure soaks us on tax... I love paying 13% on damn well everything. Everything is literally 3x the cost in the states... its ridiculous. For the record a 285/75/16 Cooper Stt = $350.

@Dodge Dude- Thanks man, they said it would be 40-48 hours a week.

Thats close to what I paid for mine two years ago so not too bad. Out of all the tires I have ran Cooper STT were my fav nothing has come close since.

Good luck with getting the job.

Edit: Wait thats what I paid for my 315 not little 285's shop around more.
