    Hmm... You're probably right considering I have about 5,000 miles worth of rode trips coming up throughout the year... My main reason for getting 15's was so I could get 12.5" wide tires though... Haha We'll see.

    Everyone has what they want/like. I won't try and deter you from that. I just see more upsides to skinnier than I do to wide. Especially if you put more miles on highway than in deep sand or something where a wide tire actually helps. Hope this doesn't start a debate on your page ha. I wish I'd gotten 16x7" wheels rather than 16x8" so I could more easily run 255/85r16s and not worry when aired down some.

    Haha nah I understand completely. Realistically it would make more sense for me to go with 33x10.50x15 BF Goodrich T/A KO's. But I love the look of 33x12.50x15 KM2's... Haha Guess that's the teenager that's still in me... :eek:

    Meh, buy for the guy that will still be driving on them in a couple years ha if you see more happiness in your future with getting those then do it. If you see yourself being thankful for being slightly more practical in the future, do it. Always buy for that guy down the road, rather than the guy who wants something on a whim, and you'll be alright :thumbsup: GL

    True, thanks for the wise words! Haha :thumbsup:

    Really and truly, the life of whatever my next tires are will be about 50 miles a week with the once a month or so trail riding. It's just that this year will be full of traveling due to me having to go to New Mexico for training this summer...

    Agreed! After finally getting mud tires on my old 96, I could never stand the look of street tires, or all terrains for that matter!

    Thinking about plastidipping my emblems Saturday and removing the bug shield until it warms up and bugs actually show up Haha

    Planning on going to an Off Road park with an FJ and some other vehicles Saturday, but I don't think it's gonna happen...

    So nobody is able to go to the Off Road park with me tomorrow... I'm debating on going by myself and check it out, but if something happens I don't have anybody to help me and it's 2 hours away... Can't decide.

    Haha so you're saying I should go? The place is apparently really muddy right now... But all of it's trails have bypasses so you aren't forced to go through the hard stuff if you don't think you can. I want to go but I'm not sure if I can justify the 4 hours of driving round trip... But if I don't go I'll probably spend all day in my room doing nothing.. Haha

    I tend to go out by myself more often than with others. I usually am more safer I guess. But I still have a good time.

    But I also have kids, so the peace & quiet is nice! I don't know what to say about the 2 hour drive thing. Thats a long way from home if something is to break.

    True, I am a LOT safer driving trails by myself than with others... Haha

    More like glorified street tires...

    But they did do very well in a foot of snow...

    This is what the area is like...

    So I can't find any answer on Google search, but if you have a personal check written out to you can you use it to buy things from a store? I'm 500 miles away from my bank so I can't cash it....

    Wouldn't it have to be written out to the store where the purchase is made? :notsure:

    Unless it's written out for CASH, I doubt you can. But I really don't know :p

    That's what I assumed... I'm trying to figure out how to cash a pretty high value check I may be getting soon.
