    Tinny noise on acceleration

    If you are talking about the higher pitched sound, the first thing i would check is if one of the bolts rusted away on the converter Heat Shield. The fix would be a new bolt and nut, or a small stainless steel weld where the bolt disappeared. Or pry the shield away enough that it does not...

    Anyone have any experience with Firestone Destination XT all terrain or Kuhmo A/T tires?

    I have Kumho Road Venture AT51 on my jeep because they were $104 each when I needed tires. Realistically, they are plenty good enough for my use. Compared to the Firestone, I would consider Kumho as AT lite. But they tell you that right in the name. Don
