Just bought my Nitto's from Discount Tire Direct (online) and they mounted them for me at Lyle's on 84th St. When I went to Lyle's I discovered they are dealers for just about everything. Oddly enough what pointed me at Lyle's was when I searched for a dealer at Discount Tire Direct's online website.

... soon as this build is done I'll be up for anything too (2012 I guess). Also a member of JJOO; awesome group, mostly "live and let live" folks so not much of the typical club drama.

Hey there, I will be moving back to the area this spring. Looking forward to some meet and greets, and some trail runs if people are up for it. I've been out in Cali getting spoiled by great trails and large groups.

Having seasons again sounds really nice. It's 70 here in the summer and 60 in the winter. You'd be surprised how much you miss the extremes once they're gone. No way to tell what time of year it is.

Oh! What kind of tires are people running? Obviously A/T are far better with ice but the M/T look is too sexy to pass up. Very few people out here understand the question regarding what works for winter driving. Midwest winter is much more than big fluffy mountain snow on the occasional weekend trail run.

I finally wore out my stock tires. I have Nitto Terra Grapplers arriving Friday because of the icy roads in the winter.

I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers too. This is the second Jeep I've had them on.

Those have a ton of siping! I've never heard of those tires. I'm torn between duratrac and some Mickey Thompson MTs. The interco Trixus (something like that) look impressive too. So hard to find a true all terrain AND all weather tire.
