Discount Tire goes to MOAB
Jeep Haven in the dictionary should say... "Moab, UT."
It's one of those places you have to see to understand. Outrageous scenery, fantastic trails, great people and a whole lot of Jeep.

I won't give a full review just yet, I am shooting some video (cross your fingers my hand keeps steady out the window) but heres a few things I will mention. First, the Km2 is an awesome tire, fantastic in our book. It is one of the most versatile tires on the market right now. We have only two days of testing on the new MTR's but here's some initial thoughts.
*Highway noise is next to nothing. Honestly, I can't believe how quiet these tires are. If noise is a concern for you I have yet to ride on a quieter MT tire.
Sand: We've been running 14psi in the front and 13psi in the rear, with the 37x12.50's we're running sand is no match. From a dead stop.... No dig pulled right though.
Hard rock: Grip and grab hard to chirp them. Super sticky crawled right up the steepest inclines we could find on Poison Spider. Poison Spider is rated 5 out of 10.
Mud: None yet, heard Area BFE is a little muddy so hopefully tomorrow we can put them to the test.
All in all these tires are standing strong so far, we're impressed!

The Jk-Jam yesterday was great! We want to thank everyone that came out and said hello. Congradulations to John Ruskauff for winning a set of 5 New Goodyear MTR with Kevlar tires. Congradulations to Josh Dunn for winning a set of 5 Nitto Mud Grapplers.
Heres a few photos from the day. Click the link below to see them all.
