Bugging Out: Thoughts on Tires

I have a new truck(new to me) and looking at putting a set of tires on it. This is a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic Warlock 4×4. I’m living in a camper near my work right now and purchased the truck as I needed a reliable method of pulling the camper if things go FUBAR. I’ve been covering this over on Patreon BTW.

Back to the tires. As part of my bugout plan not only do I need to get a set of good tires – I need extra tires. No – not simply a spare. I feel the need to have at least two full-size tires is important. Right now I have a full-size spare but it is still a low mileage, low-speed temporary tire. I want a full-size dependable tire as a spare. Tires are so critical to a vehicle that losing a couple tires once the excrement hits the air distribution device would be catastrophic. My plan? Two full-size spares for the truck, and two for the camper.

Right now I’m looking at Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac’s for the truck.

Just a thought. Tires are not considered nearly enough as important as they are.
