    I saw this driving on I5 but a hub cap. Bounced up on concrete divide, turned sideways and perfectly sheered the side of my car like someone threw an axe at me. Like a sci-fi razor disc.

    I have these wranglers on multiple vehicles and they seem to be great do it all tires. There are much better tires out there if I have the choice, but these aren't bad and they are fairly quiet on road. Unlike my rubicon bfg m/t. Those things sound like a WWII fighter plane. But my preference in every truck is nitto terra grappler. In snow they blow away the goodyears and on icy roads they are closer to a dedicated ice tire with much more siping than most. As for snow in the truck, I have only done one or two short drives in no more than 6 inches, so nothing of note yet. I am waiting for the big one to hit this coming month. AS for capability, I find that there will always be people that believe the last gen was better and that is usually pure BS. The improvements in the 3rd gen have been well noted for anyone that cares to actually research. Including the engine.

    You know what else, I bet a car won't go as far without the driver mashing on the gas. But the tire sure can, that tells me something:rofl:

    I’ve never needed to air-down for driving in the snow.
