Any updates shaggy?
Hey Diesel.
I am still enjoying these tires. I have roughly 6 thousand miles on them. Several interstate trips between Louisiana, NC and Alabama. I am back in Bama now. Had a chance to do some wheeling in NC at Uwharrie and I was very happy with the tires. I had no problems at all.
Here is a picture from a pit at Uwharrie. This picture is from my second run through. On my first, my dog bumped my jeep into Neutral. I didn't realize what happened and thought I was spinning... then realized I was starting to roll backwards into the whole. I put on the brakes and was still there completely stopped. I then realized what happened and put it back in gear. My next fear was that I would get stuck trying to climb out from a complete stop. There was not even any noticable spin and the Jeep climbed right out. I was about at the position you see in this picture... (only this picture I didn't stop!).
If you missed the picture report of my Uwharrie trip, here is the link to it (also video at bottom of page):
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55453 I hope to go to Eglin in the near future... as soon and the Southern Lost group gets a trip together. It is mostly Sand there so I think these tires will do even better than my Trxxus did since they are wider and less likely to dig in... we will see. So far these tires are a great comprimise since I don't do a ton of off roading, it is nice to have a quiet tire for everyday driving but still get you through the rough stuff. Depending on the paved surface you can hear the tires but not much at all, nothing compared to the trxus but I am sure more than a standard street tire. Anyway, I'm very happy with them.
One thing to note, with the size of my tires, on stock rims, it appears that I do get the slightest 'kiss' against my JBA upper arms when the tires are turned at certain angles. Hasn't really been a problem, doesn't cause damage, and I have not done anything yet to correct it but did want to let you know.
Well hope this helps. If I think of anything else, I'll post up.
