Maybe not a treestand, but I'll still need the bow! Twelve more days til the opener!

Here's the deal. I had an '06 Wrangler that I sold to CarMax and then boughtthis truck, so that was $$$. Then I got the CAI system, the billet fuel door and a set of nerf bars( a few $$), so when I talked tires, the wife was a little "perturbed" about the cost, when (according to her) the Michelin LTX's looked like they had plenty of tread. But....when she asked if I was going to drive herto work when it snows, I said "Sure, but not in these Michelins. They're more of a street tire."

So in trying to upgrade while saving a few $$ I decided to get the Nittos (which are still nice tires), although I have always wanted the AT-KO's. Last Friday the wife and I went out for dinner, and I just happened to park next to a '06 F-150 wearing a set of AT-KO's. I pointed them out and said, "Wow! You can really get through deep snow in those suckers! Plus, they look awesome!" She took a "close" look at the tires and asked, "Are they the ones you wanted to get?"

"Oh no, honey! These cost about $30.00-$40.00 more per tire." Her reply: "I need to get to work in the morning and I hate driving in the snow. Go ahead and get them."

I'll have pics posted by Thursday evening!
