Offroaders review.

Never heard much about them except for their cost. Took a look, and they seem to be a bit more than others of the same size.

From what I have seen they sound great on every type of terrain, even pavement. They are like 15 -20 more than most other tires in 33" size though. Cheapest I've found is $219.

They seem pretty nice, but I was quoted $1125 otd from my local guy for 4 of them but was quoted $1015 otd for 5 of the BFG KM2s. :shock:

x2

I've had them on for about 1k and I love them! So far they've performed great for me on the highway and gave me good traction in the mud and snow. Ever since I got them everybody looks at me to drive up to Tahoe for our snowboard trips :roll:

I'd really not like to talk about that. :( No seriously though highway I get about 16-18 if I watch my speed (stay between 60-75) but driving around town kills me (12-14mpg). Luckily gas is still cheap...for now

I'll wait to buy my car to race things. Unfortunately at this rate I won't buy it for a while since all extra money I get I pump into Blackimus Beastimus :twisted:
