    The ATs look very good on the Subi. The RTT, however, makes me laugh every time I see it.

    I have the AT/S's on our CRV. I love those tires! I almost want to grab a set and throw it on my 4Runner too! We went through a few trails in the CRV to push it to it's limits (and like 10" of ground clearance) and my buddy in his LC100 couldn't believe what were getting through.

    It's something about small vehicles with AWD as long as you've got enough clearance you can get where you need to go, less is more!

    Noticed you mentioned howling of your roof rack without the RTT attached. Take a black bungee cord and coil it around the front cross bar end to end. Kind of like the coils on a car's antenna. Totally eliminated roof rack noise on my sport!

    Ah, sorry, better clean out the PM's. Yeah, would love to ride. Was actually just riding Round Valley yesterday. What are your dates for the canyoneering trip? I head to Mammoth the first week of May.

    Haha, yeah she mentioned you were giving her a hard time about the rtt at work. Looks a bit odd on a commuter car no? Hey, we are planning a Pony Eporess trail trip this weekend to the border of Nevada then up around the north side of the Salt Lake. Sat, Sun trip. You interested?

    We are loving them. The ride is better than the previous all seasons, they are quiet and they actually seem to be an improvement for handling too. Haven't had them on the dirt yet, so will give them a try this weekend.

    let me know how it works out for you....I used some 4 ft ones from home depot and wrapped it maybe 5 times around the bar. Used to get howling above 45mph now it's gone even at 80mph.
