Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

Do you need good performance on snowy roads? When I was looking for tires for my Ram last time, Stazworks had new PS22’s at a great price.

Really nice video. Maybe it's just me, but I would not be able to sleep that close to a cliff in a military truck. I'd have a bad case of the what if's. "do you hear an air leak at the brake cans?? Nah...can't be ......" lol

Yes the XZL’s are the ones I liked most. Also comes with an extra 7/32 of tread similar to the Petlas.
I was getting approximately 10% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the XZL and 15% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the Goodyear and XZL+.

Currently on my Goodyears I’m averaging about 1/32 per 1,500-2,000 miles.

Where did you find that data on the Petlas? Still curious about the bead thickness, if it matches the Michelin and Goodyear?

To me, the foot note is very important. You can take any of these tires and drastically improve the performance with siping. You can do slices or grooving. I have experimented with this on old tires and the Goodyears sipe well. I have not driven in snow yet with them, as we don't get much snow here.

With a bit of planning, you can get the best of both Worlds. Lets say you plan to go to Alaska. Sipe to the depth that you expect the tires to wear during that trip.

A little pricey on the shipping but that was just a quick search! Looks like they are available just need to shop around.

Do you think they will fit our beadlocks?

I’m guessing yes but some solid data or real life measurements is the only way to really know.

It is funny, I parked next to a river and I had the same thought, imaging the parking brake releaseing and me rolling into the river in the night. My anxiety got so bad I dug out the chocks in the middle of the night.

Y’all are to funny! So you can sleep better at night, our parking brakes work by letting the air out of the brake cans and then the 4 separate brake cans have extremely strong springs that engage the brakes. The lack of air is a good thing. Highly unlikely all the springs would fail.
Typically I park in the flattest area then drive onto blocks to finish leveling, so even in neutral it doesn’t want to roll.

I was going to post the same thing, the parking brake system is fail safe, takes air pressure to release them. That’s why you need to carry caging bolts.
