Yeah, they were basically bald all the way around but I figured it was worth a shot to get anything out of them. I would have run them through the summer as slicks had they not had the sidewall cracks. My quick glance before I went in told me one was just above the wear bar but when they showed me the tires, one was treadless on the one edge while the other edge had around 5/32 left. Two were basically bald with only minimal shadows of tread blocks remaining and I didn't pay attention to the fourth. Since they were so badly cracked they basically prorated them to 1/4 to 1/3 life remaining which in my opinion is being very generous, so I didn't complain.

EDIT: They didn't ask so I didn't answer.

That makes two of us. I can't wait till the touchscreen radio craps out and I can't turn anything on or off.

Isn't the durango 3 row? https://www.dodge.com/durango/interior.html Plus there's an SRT version coming right? https://www.dodge.com/durango/srt.html

They do a lot of higher end cars, he's their main alignment guy. If it's a simple alignment they probably have other techs but this one they want him to do it.

tl;dr summary DODGE LOL, Goodyear is ok in my book. Ok, decided I want to change the centercaps on my wheels and rotate tires because the Eagle F1 Supercars are getting a tad worn in the front so I wrestle the car in the air and I see this: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_3854_zpselvxctyv.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_3855_zpszuq9jkiy.jpg Well damn. I don't care if the tires are getting worn or not, they should NOT be cracked!! I call the dealer and see if they'll do anything. NOPE. They advise me to call goodyear so I do. They set up an appointment and I take the car in there. I arrive and the guy advises they need to get it up and take pictures and such. After a bit, guy calls me to the counter after I hear him haggling with corporate on the phone. Figuring i'm gonna get told to pound sand I had already looked up a few sets of tires on tirerack and was prepared to walk out and order. Surprisingly the guy at the goodyear store got corporate to replace the tires under warranty (EDIT for clarity: Prorated for wear of course). Now, if they are replaced with the same Eagle F1 Supercar I'd be out the door for $2127 installed after "discounts and credit". I laugh and tell him I don't want those POS tires ever again then figure i'm in for an overpriced tire ride from here on out. He advised they have to be the same speed rating and blah blah for goodyear to do anything. I ask what's the cheapest option he has so he offers a set of goodyear eagle sport all seasons. Cool, I figure i'll get another laughable price but no, out the door for $524 total installed. DONE DEAL! I can't even get cheap-o knockoff tires for that so I jump. He advises he needs to check the alignment for goodyear since my tires are HEAVILY mis-worn but he fought for me due to the low mileage on the car. No problem, I advise him that if the alignment is that out i'll go back to the dealer and fight for warranty there. He agrees and understands. After a bit I think why bother fighting with the dealer , may as well pay them to do it that way if they gripe later, they are on the hook for all of it. I tell him just do it and be done with it. Here's where things get fun. Guy calls me back to tell me they can't do the alignment because the whole damn cradle needs adjusted and they won't touch it. F ME. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_0442_zpss67mskhl.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_0441_zps2seibow4.jpg Now can anyone make sense of these numbers? They said one tire was so worn it had 5/32 on one edge and nearly cords on the other. The ONLY reason they warrantied them was because at 15k miles, it's not my fault if it's that far out and can't be fixed so likely goodyear will go back on dodge for these tires but whatever. Now I have to go to the dealer for an alignment and bring the paperwork back to goodyear for them to further warranty these new tires but i'm ok with that. I get the car home, pop it in the garage. When I get up in the morning I get ready to head to the dealer and I find this crap. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_0443_zpsqrxptl8t.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/IMG_0444_zpskfnaljhl.jpg **($#$(*@*$^@#&$@#*%$^@# is all I can say now. It's at the dodge dealer now waiting to be serviced. They'll likely have it for a week since their alignment guy is off until tuesday but whatever. It'll either sit here or sit there and maybe in the mean time they can find/fix the leak until the alignment guy comes back.

He was probably referring to my link. They just started using speed cameras over here recently.

Any left?

I'd love to see them put to good use rather than snagged up by the CL vultures but understand the distance sucks. EDIT: May be willing to meet for the cost of beer or something?

Trash man cometh Thursday

Looks like a shit Box. Jk, looking good dude.

Fuck em

Take the course. If you can ever remotely ride, it's well worth the time and $.

Hb ant, old ass

My ram 1500 has taken everything I've thrown at it for 160k miles without batting an eye. I say look at all of them and when one fits your budget get it.

I'd toss out a challenger scat pack but anything dodge is a bastard child here. They also fit the sucks in bad weather category but I drive mine in the snow so meh.

I ran across that and thought it was a total BS article but it seems legit. Couldn't believe it at all.

http://www.autonews.com/article/20170424/OEM06/304249979/keep-the-dodge-demon-off-our-roads Keep the Dodge Demon off our roads The 840-hp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon from Fiat Chrysler is so inherently dangerous to the common safety of motorists that its registration as a road-worthy automobile should be banned. We don't reach this conclusion lightly. There are more powerful, and even faster, vehicles available from other automakers that are rightly street legal. But just as Tesla is wrong to use consumers and the roadways to beta-test its autonomous driving technologies, Dodge is wrong to offer a purpose-built drag racer as a road-legal automobile. From its barely legal slick tires to its monstrous acceleration, the Challenger Demon introduced in New York this month is the result of a sequence of misguided corporate choices that places bragging rights ahead of public safety. Laudably, the entire industry has made great strides toward improved vehicle safety in recent years, even as it dials up performance capabilities. But with the Demon, Dodge spits on that goal and irresponsibly moves in the opposite direction, knowingly placing motorists in danger in the process. Oddly enough, for a vehicle designed to be a purpose-built drag racer, the Demon has already been banned from regulated drag strips by that sport's sanctioning body, the National Hot Rod Association, allegedly for being "too fast." The Demon may comply sufficiently with the letter of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to legally be registered for on-road use, but in its current form it certainly doesn't fulfill the spirit of those standards. To borrow a phrase from Ralph Nader, the Demon remains unsafe at any speed.

QCMP is in my back yard, I really need to get out there one day and check it out.
