Drove through a heavy snow storm in SW Colorado last month. Handled like a dream. Cruising along at 40mph over Yellowjacket Pass, no slipping or sliding. A very predictable, stable, quiet tire. Takes hard corners well, too. From all reports, I expect to get at least 70,000 miles out of these tires. They are an expensive tire, but with the high mileage expected they end up being cheaper than most others in the long run. Havn't done much off roading with them, just some muddy/snowy/icy dirt roads. Didn't have any problems. They just dug in and went. -- ..boB 97 H-D FXDWG - Turbocharged!! 01 Dakota Quad Sport, 5.9/Auto/4x4 83 GMC Jimmy (beater) 66 427SC Cobra Replica - Project 66 Mustang coupe - Daily Driver -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
