Running at 6psi in 6"+ of snow. We had to turn around because our TJ snow plow was tired of taking runs for us into 3ft of the fresh stuff


Here's a good resource to look up AT/MT tires. Independent reviews w/real user input> h t t p://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/Pick_the_Right_Tires.htm
I'm not trying to say Hardbourone is wrong, I'm just happy with my Toyo's in snow/ice.
Seems everyone is on the duratrac bandwagon...

I just mounted 17" Black Rock Vipers (black) on my JK. I love them and get alot of compliments on them as well. Becareful though, JEEP will get in your blood. Never say you won't offroad.
