We have this stuff called torque seal to prevent tampering as it puts a blue seal on the plug because a popular thing was people overtightened the plugs and then went down a bumpy road to get it to knock out then proceeded to drive and blew the engine then make walmart pay for a new engine and resulting in the employee who worked on it being fired. Happened 2 times where i worked.
yeah tle (tire and lube express tho the express part ehhhhh not really lol) and meaning when we didnt use torque seal (this was what my shop manager said) that when we werent using the torque seal (or security sealant)
People who had engines that were dying or bad used to overtighten the plugs and strip the threads of either the plug or the oil pan and then when you go down a bumpy limerock road with the stripped plug it can rattle out of the pan and drain the oil and then blow the engine. But this was before walmart used the seal so we had no way of telling if walmart did it or the owner so walmart of course the customer comes first got a new engine and as i said before the employee fired. Yeah florida is shady matter of fact we STILL have people come back saying we broke their car so thats why any damage we have to report as well as some guy when i started there took his car around the building, Unscrewed his mirror and came back saying i broke it when in fact the security cameras were watching the entire thing lol. Or a guy who said i bent his rim when it obviously struck a curb and even if i could cant even bend it so yep sadly this is my area. Also same goes for when people loosen the plug and intentionally let it leak as well and cause the engine to blow as well.... shoulda clarified that sorry bout that, the overtightened was one and the loosening was the other not both. Even gotta mark the oil filter as well and then if it has a skid plate or splash pan you gotta mark the bolts or clips as well which may i mention is a PAIN.
rarely ever sell them or see them. Mainly sell dexteros, douglas and cheap nexen and hankooks. And the only wrangler radial we have there was made in 2014 so they rarely ever sell, that truck was the only one who ordered online and got 4 new tires and first time i ever mounted them. I really dont know much about tires i just change them lol. Thats why i asked about them i never see them or deal with them or get an idea on their quality and treadlife and ect though theyre pretty cheap online. So i was curious about them.
yessir iron man is pretty damn good for the price. Hercules and iron man are both made by Cooper. Hercules is supposed to be that middle ground and iron man the budget brand, but I honestly think iron man is the better tire
Good tips.... mine are in good shape now...but I'll be looking into these in the near future when I do my lift and go with a bigger tire than my current 235's. I don't care for the tread pattern on the Goodyear Wranglers either... but they were on my XJ when I bought it and in decent shape. Didn't really care as I knew I'd be swapping them out soon.
Are the iron mans quiet? I heard some tires and they roar quite loudly lol i do quite a bit of driving so i dont want to have an obnoxiously loud tire.
very true but i seen some at tires and they were loud so im kinda interested in the cooper ones lol from what i can tell i think douglas were the cheap versions of goodyear tires and i think the dexteros are by giti tire so basically this is the same concept for cooper which i like cooper and bf goodrich more anyways lol

that's very strange. Those cheap wrangler radial are synonymous with wal mart it seems. And they are super popular because people don't realize why they are cheap. They just care that they are cheap haha.
^^ I just googled images of them.. and like many other brands, they seem to have a number of different types/tread pattern/purpose tires.
I know I could always hear my BFG 31's on my other 4x4 truck, but it wasn't bad... not like rolling down the road on swampers or something. lol.
iron man only had one all terrain. Numerous car tires though. They are super quiet though. Their mud tires are a little loud, but that's to be expected.
true lol tho i think they would be more popular in snowy areas as theyre cheap sets to throw on in the winter then change again as florida i guess theyre useless or lesser used. I looked at reviews and everyone seemed to love them in the snow so thats what im goign off of. But if you can recommend the iron man or hercules what would you suggest because these seem very awesome as i never even seen or heard of them till today. and would prefer white letters if possible lol.
I've never personally ran them on a vehicle... not yet... I'll be switching out on my XJ when I do my lift.
I could always climb like a stabbed rat in loose and soft dirt on the BFG's... but they are pricey.
yeah but isnt general grabbers like a knock off bf all terrain? tread patterns is the same if im not mistaken? and yeah my quote was 950 out the door and thats the lowest lol
IDK for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised as the BFG AT tread pattern is one of the best ones I've used for loose and packed dirt conditions for many moons.... and is very popular in general so for others to try and imitate it doesn't surprise me. I'd slap a set on my stock height if I didn't think I'd get contact with the body. Expensive, but work great and wear pretty well too.
