Doug Blake is the Tire Man. He is the owner/operator of Medfield Tire and Battery in the Metro West area of Massachusetts. There has been a tire shop at the location he owns since there were tires. Doug can help anyone who needs tires or batteries, but we found him because he is a hands-on guy. He will use hand tools to change your tires if your car is special, and many local car-nuts come to him for the extra service he provides. Like the owner of the classic Mercury ahead of me at the shop. Don’t let us give you the impression his shop is old-school. Only the service is. He has the most modern mounting and balancing equipment available.

Doug’s personal ride is 2003 Chevy Silverado rocking a 6-liter V8 powering all four wheels. There is nobody that knows more about truck tires than Doug. So what does he run on his special Silverado? He chose the Michelin LTX M/S2 all-season performance tires. The Silverado SS came with 20-inch rims ready to accept 275/55 rubber. Doug has found that the Michelins offer great all-season traction, sharp handling, and can they handle the abuse of New England's terrible pavement.

Doug has 110K on the truck and still loves it, having had no problems with it since he brought it home 12 years ago. If you have a sporty truck, or any truck you’re proud of, tell us what you think of Doug’s choice and what you run on your special ride in the comments below.
