Good to hear, put a set of MS/2's on mine and what a great improvement it was. Should have done it sooner.

I have 47,600 miles on my 2012 screw eco and like you, I love it. I too had the problem with moisture condensing, but the TSB fixed mine. I don't hesitate to tromp it, and I do quite often, just because I like to! The Goodyears that came on mine were worn out by 30k. I went with the Michelin MS/2's and they are a fantastic tire. Ride well, and still carry a load. And from the looks of the side tread, there will be no worn out sides before the middle. I expect to get in the 80k range with them. I wish I was going with you. Sounds like a good trip. Have a good time traveling and fishing. God be with you.

Deerhunter,
Don't forget pics of the fish... Officially, "you didn't catch it without pics"... Enjoy the trip and I look forward to some photos of "God's Country" up there.

Enjoy man

Holy Cow! Is that actually a "stock" truck?

I'm not a "native" Alaskan, but I used to live there. Sheep Creek was my favorite fishing hole -- great for silvers. You're probably a month too early for silvers though. Have fun and drive carefully.

I concur with Michelin tires there a great fit for a great riding truck. I envy you. would love to be able to take the truck on a fishing trip their. Looking forward to seeing what you get and how the truck did as well. Enjoy!

I am glad to hear that the Michelin's are a great riding tire. I am going in Wednesday to get them put on.

Will send a lot of pictures of the trip, hopefully a lot of the successful fishing too.

Another thing we want to do is dig for Razer Clams. I did a lot of that when I was growing up in Washington State. We went one time on our last trip to Alaska and got a few, enough for some chowder and some fried diggers. One of the best things in the world to eat are fresh razer clams.

Sounds great...nothing better than 'fresh' seafood and like the rest, Alaska is on the Bucket List. We're Michelin people too (2 cars). My 12 came with Pirelli's which seem to ride fairly well and seem to work in Nebraska's Sand Hill open prairie and a 6 in snowfall in town on pavement. My concern is their ability to 'push/pull' the truck through sand, snow, mud in tough conditions. Do your MS/2's perform in adverse weather reliably (bad road conditions, that is)? While I don't want to be heard 'singing' down the street rolling on a set of knobbies, I need to know that when it's tough to go, the tires CAN. Thoughts? Experiences? TL

Deer, I've been up the haul road (aka, Dalton Hwy) way past article circle. Dust, rocks are rough on a truck. Many flat tires are normal, at least used to be. I met one guy in an old Ford van, the small kind, at the store on Yukon River bridge, and he told me he had driven from Maryland, let some air out of tires for haul road, and nary a flat! He said he drove real slow. I'd still want an extra spare. See if you can get a tour of a pump station on pipeline too. I did, very interesting.
