    IIHS Crash Tests of 2016 Trucks

    The IIHS made a small splash in the news yesterday with the results of the first comprehensive round of testing they've ever done on full size trucks. They tested all the major brands and did full testing of each - front, overlap, small overlap, side, and roof strength. The F150 aced all the...

    Construction Differences Between Metric and Floatation Sized LT Tires

    This is probably a dumb question, but why do manufacturers offer conventional LT tire sizes that are only slightly off from their LT-metric counterparts? For example, if I want 35" BFG All-Terrain KO2's for a 17" rim, they offer both an LT315/70/R17/E 121 S and also an LT35x12.5R17/E 121 R...
