KMcminn's new rig

I guess something I thing about is if I keep a pair of reds for 6 years. Which is plenty doable for me. Say the tires wear out 3 to 6onths faster oh well it was worth the fun of driving it on the road.

My choices will be between the new 42" treps or the 43 swampers. 42 reds suck so reds aren't even an option for me.

The pavement at windrock is a concern for me if I get a set of stickies. I don't think it would be that big a deal if it were a straight road but it's constant switchback turns for a good half mile or better. Valid concern or just being paranoid?

I drove a set of 43 stickies about 15 miles at 8 psi. It scuffed them up but I couldn't tell it wore the tread down. And I've driven at wind rock to, your right about the road being crooked, but I couldn't tell anything. Goforth said it would help them?????

Here is a pic of the rear damage. Where it hit, it has the tailgate in a bind and the tailgate won't open. I will fix it this summer. I would like to do some body work and possibly put a wrap on the Jeep.

On the way back from KOH trailer blew a hub in west Memphis. Unloaded a jeep on 43 stickies and drove it on the interstate from west Memphis across the ms river to a friends house in horn lake miss. Tires were barely warm. And that was in a heavy jeep aired tires up to 20psi and cruised at 50mph. That same jeep has driven all around Huntsville on the stickies.

Honestly the 43s had a lot more damage done to them after climbing violator at choc than any of the miles spent on the road.
