BIG ISLAND HI Thread

Kala how was last night action

 

What tire would you guys recommend for a 265/75. Looking at a aggresive AT like a BFG Rugged Terrain Or Goodyear Duratrac? I dont want em to get chunked on the lava rock.

 

no mud but action bu.


yotski, either one is good for all around terrain.

 

Yotski can't go wrong with the bfg A/T KOs only place there not good is in mud...

 

smooth rock I didnt have grip with the a/t's, but for pretty much anything theyre good tires. I like the new rugged trail design look but im not jumping into a new set of tires anytime soon.

 

What you guys think of the KM2? I heard good things but not sure if the lava rock will rip em up when im on it

 

Lava kills all tires. A'a is just too sharp

My km2s held up pretty well though, kala has them now

I wheeled them Hard with no complaints

 

I like km2s, but they dont seem to last as long as the older KM1s. The load range Es, on full sizes, barely last 20-25k. The fricken Michelin ATXs(?) lasted 50k and up!
I cant compare them to the tires that everyone seems to like(discovery cooper stt, gy duratracs), but if I needed an all around tire, id buy the km2s. Ive only driven em on full size trucks and dont seem to have a problem, but when I think of it I could probably do the same thing with the bfg a/t.

One tire that I really do like is the Mickey thompson mtz. That was an awesome tire. Nitto Mud grapplers and the mtz is tires I would pick up if I had money coming out my ass.


when konaborne talks about a'a tearing up tires, it reminds me of back in high school when I ran the SSRs and those literally fell apart on me. imo, the swamper SXs were no ka oi when it came to playing on the rocks. Those tires had a hard compound, but they sucked in the rain and wobbled all over. lol
I wanna try get me a set of the good year military run flats. One problem with having 16.5" rims is its hard to find tires, so I always wanted to see how those performed.

 

Mtrs are great tires too

 

Hey Guys,

I am coming to the Island tomorrow. Wondering what some cool places to eat and drink are. Happy hours, Wing nights, Food specials. Cheap places to buy alcohol

 

Were you going to be

 

kohala ranch big island

 

if youre gonna be on the kohala side, youre more than likely gonna be coming in to the kona side. if there head down to alii drive. its like a strip and the bars will be easily accessible .

 

or maybe hotels, waikoloa area. Kawaiahae has a few restaurants too. If youre a cold country kinda guy(sorry, below 60 and to me thats freeze balls), waimea/kamuela has some bars and definitely a few good restaurants.

 

I made it after 7 hours ! Love it. Can't beeline how many tacomaz are here! We bummed around Kalona today. If anyone wants to do some wheeling and up for beers lemme know .

 

welcome to the B.I.. unfortunately, im on the hilo side. i think youll have fun on the kona side. got beaches, bars...babes *shifty eyes to see if youre with a wife or gf* LOL.

 

agreed.

*makes sure GF isnt in room

 

did someone say wheeling and umm, then beers?


ive been out all week with a cut foot, pretty immobile and the pain hurt even more when I watched the truck being packed and my brother leaving to go hunt just a few minutes ago, but im down for some wheeling!

 

Im down if any be going wheeling this weekend...also does any know if there's any "toys4tots" crises going on soon

 

ill shoot you a text ekahi. Im off for awhile. Idk if theres a cruise for that, but I think im gonna insure my other toy for the t4t cruise…only time I wont be bothered.
