    Finally got to hang with my hoon buddy again. He just got done with chemo, sounds like he officially beat cancer! :rasta:

    Last semester weekend before finals week I found a 4WD manual supercharged third gen 4Runner /w a rear locker. Also had a 7th injector and full TRD exhaust/headers. Found it at 5pm, left for Wisconsin at 7pm after I talked to the dealer. Got there the next day at close and had to stay the weekend. Used the new Tundy to tow it back 26 hours of straight driving!

    That's what I've heard. They're also outside what I'm willing to pay for a tire.

    More interested in the Nittos/Coopers. Just thought I'd try some other input.

    I have Honcook dynapro atm's on Christa's t4r and they're nice. Falken wildpeaks are nice.

    The dynapros are what I'm looking to replace. Like I said, 8/32in and slip at stop lights when going and making turns on concrete at anything over like 12mph. I don't drive with a heavy foot most of the time either.

    Have you consider General Grabbers AT2? I absolutely love them. Compared to KO2s I've ran in another truck, the Grabbers perform beautifully on wet roads.
    Came across this video of some Jeeps at the Continental/ General facility. Don't know how other manufacturers test their tires but just seeing this video further solidifies my trust on these tires.

    I have dynapro on mine an without weight in the back. The worst tires I've driven in the rain Damn near. I do have a standard with a big clutch. But anytime under power I'll spin until 4th with no speed just praying for traction. I really don't trust it in the rain at all. Thank God I'm a gifted driver or it would have been totaled years ago
