I would drive one of the new Nissan trucks though, lot's of power.

So would every other American. That's why, soon, there won't be any American cars if we keep going down the road we're going.

You couldn't give me a foreign car. I don't care if it's the most reliable, low maintenance, econoboxes on the planet. I believe in spending it where I make it and that will never change.

One of my best friends is the asst. manager at a local Firestone store and he recomendes the Bridgestone Dueler.

Yep, my mom was going to buy one so I test drove it. I was hooked! Honestly, I'd have one for a DD even though it's a gay looking Volkswagon just for the 50 mpg, and hard to beat the cool factor of a Diesel.

Are VWs not German anymore? You seem to have a double standard here (among other things). Sorry to the original poster for going off topic.

[/ QUOTE ] I respect your opinion Tim. I also belive in American vehicles. Tires, I've never bought anything without a american name, but I don't know where alot of them are made. For cars I tend too go with what they have at Firestone because I have a good friend working at a local store and get a nice disscount.

I did this debate a long time ago when I first got my tires, I chose to get the Yokohama Geolander A/T+II .

I first saw them on a buddys truck (1badv10) and liked them, so I got me a set for around 122 a peice and haven't regretted it.

tread life is rated to 40k and they are tough tires, can be loud at highway speeds tho but nothing a good sterio wont cure, they can handle offroad decently as well but dont get crazy cuz they are "all terrain" .

Good luck.

I had a set of AT/S's on my blazer for 60K+ miles, could not be happier with them, wore like iron and still have 3/16" worth of tread, self cleaning lugs actually work, TONS of bitting edges, plus they look cool.
Buddy has them on a DD as well, he towed a camper to the Badlands, drove around the badlands in the quarry, sand dunes, a couple of the creek trails and towed the trailer home at the end of the weekend /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif He's got 55K on his and he is getting ready to have another set put on /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif Definalty checkout the wrangler AT/S's /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

The Americans do not produce a compeditive product to the TDI Jettas, so it eliminates options.

Tires, there are plenty of American options.
