Nice, makes me want to go wheel mine. Havn't been out since September

[daniresch]

drove up to washington last weekend to play in some snow off highway 57 and managed to curb a log driving around 20mph and this happened  i was very surprised, i've been very impressed with my km2s before this. i already ordered two new tires coming from California and Arizona and will also ordered another raceline wheel for a full size wheel/tire combo.
bolting my blingbling 37" spare on

Holy crap man. So you were able to get some more tires in that size? If so, that's awesome man!

Where u do your snow wheeling? I been up the santiam pass last few weekends its getting deep up there pretty sure I've seen u at browns camp

[pumkin toy]

how are you liking those K2's?  my dad got a set of 35's for free and put them on his crawler.  He hates them!  I'm not impressed with them either.  Seems like they have no lateral traction. My dads rig just slides off the sides of rocks all the time.  He used to have a set of worn out 34" trxus swampers and they worked waaay better

[greenjacob]

Sounds about how I rember bfgs don't forget flat blow out and sidewall dlashes

I usually go to browns camp to try and find snow, it is the closest to me. I've haven't been to santian pass before i'm sure its snowing hard there now!

Traction wise i've actually been really happy with the km2, I haven't experienced any lateral traction issues on rocks. I've heard really good things about the trxus that they hook up better than iroks in some cases. I believe they have more sipping than any other mud tire out

been there, done that

I know when I had km2s they worked awesome in every situation, except ice and packed snow. In those conditions they were downright scary, everything else awesome. Never had any problems in rocks, even wet rocks.

[greenjacob]

just got km2 35s for my 94 standard cab sas 5.71s locked f/r there dirt cheap tires couldnt pass up the deal i got. there ok on the road do on in snow. i wana get them siped. there alot better then the old bfgs

[pumkin toy]

they would probly work alot better siped.  daniresch, the trxus tires do have alot of siping, thats probly why they work so well.  But they do also seem to chunk out easier which is probly due to the siping also.  oh well cant have all the pros I guess!

[greenjacob]

Ya after this weekend I believe I'm siping!

[daniresch]

drove to the beach recently took a couple pictures

[Nimyad]

I want to bring my truck to the beach so bad! You're lucky you're so close.
