    Going back to the hankooks man, I had a great experience with my last 2 sets... it's about 1,200 for 5 (315/75/16s) too. Can't beat that!

    Yeah this was some real life product testing. Your km2s should work well. I was able to make it up the spot Jason got stuck with almost zero wheel slippage. I'm on 285 MTR's. The mud was really thick, clay based, consistency of peanut butter. Once Jason's tires started slipping they just turned into racing slicks.

    True. Those things worked wonders. Much easier and more effective than stacking rocks, sticks, etc for traction.

    Jason, didn't you just get the KO2's that came out :spy: (The updated all terrain). KM2's are their mud terrain. I think some maxtrax would have really helped us out at hollister. Traction for me and no branch/rock hunting for you :cool:

    Man I really wanted to go to pillsbury, but it was a lot for the little guy already. Didn't want to be so far from home with a loud fussy baby :eek:. How did Chris' duratracs do?

    Yep - I have the new BFG AT KO2's. I don't plan to seek out mud, so maybe just a set of MaxTrax will make up for not having Mud-Terrains for a while.

    (until I move to Colorado on the Front Range)
