    Tire on the Penske blew out just west of Amarillo, TX. Good thing we had the chase vehicle with everything we needed until the contact vehicle came.

    Now that you have had the Kevlar's on for quite some time. Are you happy with them? Anything you don't like?

    Well we are all officially moved in. A couple issues along the way with the "Twinkie" aka Penske truck but other than that very smooth.

    I am happy with them. After having owned the KM2's and KM's for a combined 50,000 miles I will have to say that these MTR's are better on and off road. They are louder once you start breaking the tread in. My MTR's seem to grip more on wet surfaces than the KM2's.Only thing I don't like is that they don't make a skinnier and taller version for 17" wheels. An 11.5" wide, 36" tall tire would be fantastic.

    My next set of tires will be MTR's, just still deciding on the size.

    Oh, and something else to add. My MPG went up about 2 MPG here and 50 cents cheaper! Not bad all. I even hit 20 MPG on the trip here from California.

    Good to hear. I just ordered a set in 315/75-16. I agree I wish there was a 315/65-16 option would be perfect.

    It's a damn shame that the only 35x10.5 really available is a swamper. I might run em anyway next go-round
    Now if you have an 18" wheel then you can run the toyo mt's in the 315/75R18 which is an awesome size, ran those on my super booty and they were great.

    We will see what is available in the next few years. I should have about 2 years left of tread on these tires. I still have to pick up a tyrepliers in order to take the tires off the rim myself. Not looking forward to that day...
