Pizza Cutter Tires-Any Regrets?

[The Guide]

I could see some use case for them
On a [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]/[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]] ton, but it seems limited, narrow and not worth the downside trade offs for most people.

That said, I haven’t owned a [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]/[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]] ton truck in over [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]] years.

No idea what you were trying to say there but this is what it looks like...

Yeah I know. Tapatalk does that randomly when I post a response that has numbers in it.

I revised it and cleaned it up.

I knew you were cheap too.

I just hate buying tires going into summer. Would much rather buy em going into the wet season.

On the other hand, I put 10 ply on my wifes tundra due to that being the only thing available in that particular tire/size I wanted at the time(covid era) and I can't wait to wear them out. Killed the ride and handling on that truck to the point Id take them off now that standard load tires are available in that size...

When I bought my 2016 Tundra it already had 10 ply tires on it. I didn't mind the ride. Then I bought an extra set of brand new rims from a guy that wanted to put his own rims and tires on his new truck. He threw in the new factory 6 ply tires that were on them. I put them on to try them and hated that ride feel. So when the 10 ply's wore out, I put new 10 ply's right back on the truck.

I agree.

Cheap.

You shoul checkout https://www.youtube.com/@TinkerersAdventure. He has a Tundra, but has good explanations for offsets and tire size.

Lots of them. I see them every day. Mostly ranch hand trucks that used to be the wife's or kids old truck.

There’s a difference between running errands on the farm and hooking up to a 25’-30’+ gooseneck flatbed or stock trailer. When most think of ranching and pickup trucks, it’s the latter.

I would never put anything but E on a full size, but I have hammered and ran the piss out of my Tacoma, and C have held up just fine. The 15 lb per tire less weight makes a difference on the freeway.

I put 4k to 7k miles a month on my GMC Canyon (2022 with 160k on it) and a lot of that is on gravel oil field roads. I have had 1 low tire (screw in tire) through 2 sets of Goodyear DuraTrac load E tires. Each set has gotten me 80k miles. One of my previous employers gave us company trucks. We would get a new truck on hire and every 75k miles they would order a new one. The stock tires on a 1/2 ton truck would last 10k to 15k and would have to be replaced due to wear and number of punctures (more than 2 repairs on any one tire meant a new set). We always got rugged terrain load E tires and never had another tire issue until the truck was mileaged out. Scoria rock roads will shred a soft tire and puncture tires with thin cores.

Ask a rancher if he wants load C or load E on his feed truck or salt truck or fence truck. Anything that actually gets driven offroad and you will get an answer of load E for the tougher tire carcass. There are things out here that just work for people who use their vehicle as a tool and not as a toy. Load E tires just work for the guys that need them. I don't need load E tires on my Jeep cause it is a toy for the hills and isn't used for making me money. If I lose a tire out hunting it is an inconvenience. If I lose a tire on the way to service a drilling rig it could cost me my job or depending on the weather, my life. Some of us don't live our lives in the city.

Your service truck for drilling rigs is a Canyon?

I had one set of tires in 25 years put on my work trucks that wasn't 10 ply, it took a grand total of 6,000 miles to have 3 flat tires and i said screw it and replaced them.
Whatever kind of magic fairy dust they put in the 10 ply tires, it's worth it.

Your service truck for drilling rigs is a Canyon?

Yes. I provide fluids services for drilling rigs to build and maintain their drilling fluids. I have a lab on location where I test the drilling fluids. If it's 24 hour service I stay at the rig for 14 days at a time. If it is a drive-by service, I go to the rig or multiple rigs everyday and service their fluids system. The largest thing I have to carry daily is computer. My other truck I service rigs with is an F250. I bought it brand new '12 and have 260k on it. I bought the Canyon cause it gets almost 2x the mileage of the F250. I don't have to carry much but I do need to be able to tow an enclosed trailer that is full of testing equipment occasionally from a completed location to a new one.

Makes sense now.

When I envision “drilling rig service truck” a Canyon wasn’t the first thing to come to mind.
I was thinking Pererbilt with a service bed.

I've been running 35x10.50R17's on my ZR2 for the last 6 years (~70k miles). Thousands of miles of off-road from rock crawling to high speed desert running. I've never once felt like I needed a wider tire.
