New meats...

Well I sold the old 255's and stepped up to some 33x12.5x15 Maxxis Bighorn MT's. Also got a set of Wheelers 15x8 Type "B" black steelies. Just took them out in the snow today and they performed great. Not even aired down but such a wider footprint than the 255's it goes where it wants. The Maxxis have factory sippes, studd holes, and I also got them sipped. I will get some snow shots tomorrow:D

What is that white stuff:confused:

Looks good. I dig the new wheels why did you opt for a 15" wheel?

[OldSven]

More rubber, and cheaper tires:smiley_drive:

How do they do on hard packed snow? They are definitely on my short list, but I have yet to get any answer about snow performance beyond "They are a mud tire, what do you expect?".

The stuff here is new powder, as for hard pack I will have a better answer at the end of the season. The main difference that I have noticed is the wider track really does well. But I haven't aired down yet so if they are doing this well aired up I can't wait to widen them up:wings:

Those would look good on my Land Cruiser. Maybe with different gears though. Very tempting.

Pics from Mt. Bachalor, and to reply again on the hard pack question we tested it out tonight and they did great. I had alot of traction, and good braking. Now at about 30-40mph it did do some really cool donuts across the parking lot at the ski slopes:smiley_drive:

Hows the tire wearing?

Pro/cons????

They look like a great tire with a good price too!

:truck:

The tires are doing great!!! It's parked most of the week so I only have about 2500 miles on them since November. But the MR2 had to sit this week out waiting for a part so I got to rack up some miles on the Taco. The snow is melting so now I can show these "AT" boys how it's done:REExeSquatsHL1:

Shoot me a PM when you are head up there again. I think there is still snow up there, but I haven't been up there for about a month or so. I never thought I would like a canopy so much. Now for the add'ons roof rack, tire gate, and of course more lights:yikes:
