    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Hell yeah. If I ever get a dedicated woods vehicle those are the tires that's going on it. As it was they weren't bad at all but just a touch too loud for what I wanted on a daily driver.

    Compared to my KM3's these are a dream noise wise. I have been very happy despite a tire coming off now and again.

    Oh yeah, they were quiet compared to the Grabber X3s I ran as well, I just realized how much I appreciate a genuinely quiet tire and these Coopers are exactly what the doctor ordered.

    I have to say my Kendas (which used to be Jason's Kendas) are far superior offroad compared to any tires I have run before - K02s, Grabber ATX, and Duratracs.

    Now that we've had some good storms for the past couple days I will comment they are not as good as the Grabber ATX in rain. I'd say they are less sure-footed in snow too, but that's not to say they are bad. Grabbers are just really really good in snow/rain. That's to be expected though going between a true all-terrain (Grabber) versus the Kendas which are much more of a mud terrain labeled as an AT.

    Kendas I will say have crazy ability to drop pressure to deform around obstacles which again adds to why they work well offroad. Duratracs did that too but they are made out of tissue paper and can't be trusted not to puncture. The others held a pretty stiff sidewall - better for AT things but a minus in the dirt.

    I'd like to try those Mickeys that Dean has next unless some other new hotness comes out first.

    I fully support this! I don't have as many to compare with, but the Mickeys have impressed me with everything Mother Nature and I have tested them with. A year and a half and around 23,000 miles in the 5 tire rotation and they're wearing very well too. I'll have to get a tread measurement check to report on that.

    Ole: “You don’t even know vat a carburetor is. I’ll check it out. Ver is da car?”

    Lena: “In da lake.”

    Ole was in big trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary and his wife, Lena, was really angry.

    She told him, “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 PRETTY DAMN FAST!”

    The next morning Ole got up early and left for work. When Lena woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a gift-wrapped box in the middle of the driveway.

    Confused, Lena put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and brought the box back in the house.

    She opened it excitedly and found a brand new bathroom scale.

    Ole has been missing since Friday

    Actually, I checked my documentation and it's about 29,000 miles on the 5 tire rotation, so about 23,200 per tire. I'd check tread depth, but it's cold and raining outside now and I'm warm and cozy inside. Don't judge!

    Ole sadly died so Lena went to the local paper to put a notice in the obituaries.

    The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Lena what she would like to say about Ole.

    Lena replied, “You yust put ‘Ole died’.”

    The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, “That’s it? Just ‘Ole died?’ Surely, there must be something more you’d like to say about Ole. If its money you’re concerned about, the first five words are free. We must say something more.”

    So Lena pondered for a few minutes and finally said, “Okay. You put ‘Ole died. Boat for sale’.”
