They are Goodyear Wramglers.
Haven't decided if I will get Michelin Defender street tire or at AT tire again.
This vehicle is only used for towing my travel trailer so probably not necessary to get at AT tire. My Rivian tows my 7000# boat from storage/lake/storage.
Defenders are the only tires I use. When my Rivian's Pirellis wear out by the end of this year, Defenders are going on the car. Same goes for my 3/4T GMC truck.
The guideline from most tire companies are to replace at 6 years from tire manufacture date. In the case of Michelin 10 years from manufacture date is is their absolute maximum.
I have had a number of failures when I did 1000 mile round trips from LA to Tahoe. I have some Chinese Tow-Master where the tread ripped off of 3 year old tires( 2 of them in a trip). I also had multiple Chinese Hercules(also 3 years old) develop huge bubbles...also in one trip.
No more issues...
On any trailer that I put significant miles on, only Goodyear Endurance or Maxxis. If I am just putting on 25 to 50 miles a year as my two boat trailers get, I will buy cheap Chinese tires like Carlisle.
Here is one example....if one cell was 0.5V higher than all the others, the BMS would stop ALL charging once that cell reached it's max voltage during charging and all the other cells would be 0.5V lower. Your total battery would be 1.5V lower than a full charge. Now that is an exaggeration as...
I just looked at the manual for that charger. I would personally use the custom profile, set the max voltage to 14.4V vs 14.6V and set the auto maintain to 13.2V to 14.4V if that is doable. You could potentially use the LiFePO4 setting with preset 2 but 14.6V is higher than I like to run. The...
The charging profile for a lithium battery is actually very simple. Bulk charge until absorption voltage of between 14.0V and 14.4V. Then constant voltage until current drops to zero giving enough time for the batteries cells to balance. Once that cycle is completed, drop to a float voltage of...
