Wyoming meet!!!11

They are stock size - 265/70/16 Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1s

 

yea i bet they do better then as they are skinnier

 

That's why I bought Duratracs, they pretty much are snow tires. I love them so much. They tear the shit outta the ice. But I'm sure we'll find somewhere. Hell, any excuse to get stuck is worth my time!

 

i can't stand goodyear tires. Have had way to many bad experiences with em. Nothing like a good BFG tire.

 

How did they do with the snow we got? The KM2s were badass this summer but between no siping and 12.5" wide... performing pretty poorly with the snow so far. Hell I pulled out of the UW daycare parking lot yesterday morning and slid sideways across the road even though I was going slow and in 4wd... my tires just kept spinning.

 

They're doing great! I had to slam on the brakes on the ice, and my truck stopped as if it was on dry pavement. It'll be even better once I get my BPV bracket from JLee. But so far, so good. I get a ton of traction with them. Feels like I have snow tires.

 

This morning I was beginning to wonder if I should've gone with Duratracs as my winter set. Never really crossed my mind when I got the Blizzaks. Not particularly fond of having stock size tires on my truck.

 

just cause your used to it lookin like a monster lol

feel free to let me have the 33'' km2s btw lol

 

How much snow did you guys end up getting? (Laramie side) Nothing here, cold as shit though. I guess Colorado is getting dumped on, which brings me to ask, anyone up for some riding/skiing? Anyone hit up Snowy Range Ski Area?

 

In all honesty, I've been wanting to sell them so I could test out some Maxxis Creepy Crawlers this coming summer. I just don't think I could sell them for anywhere near what I'd need to cover the cost the Maxxis ones though.

We probably got like 2-3"
All the roads appear to be clean and dry already.

I've never been skiiing/boarding, but I'm gonna try getting into it this season. I know Pyroskier and A7XT are experienced, and brettb? I vote for Pyroskier to pick the next date for a skiing/boarding meet.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

Yeah we should get a meet 'n' ski set up. Snowy won't open until late November/early December, but we need to get something figured out for sure!

 

Any more takers for tomorrow?

 

Well I was busy plastiderping my wheels yesterday and completely forgot to talk to the Forest Service. Mounted my snow tires today and went to check out the Snowies. Good news! WYO130 is 95-98% clear/dry and the trail is open!
Ya'll are crazy if you don't want to come tomorrow.



Trail head. About 3-4" of snow in the area.

 

i'll see you at the fire station (west Laramie) at 9!

 

Be glad you guys didn't come today. Search & Rescue may or may not have been involved. Pics incoming...

 

WHAT! lol holy shit.

 

Some pics... hopefully Pyroskier has some more

I figured that about Snowy, used to work there when I was going to school. Should wait till it acutally has some snow, ice just isnt that fun Great pics from the last meet, driving through snow is always a blast. Well if anyone is interested in heading west to hit up Utah or something let me know, way closer than Colorado for me, but I'd make the journey that away to meet up. Usually make an anual trip out to Steamboat!! Love that place. Does Steamboat/UW still offer the six pack deal?

 

Hey does anyone live around the Evanston area that i could ask a huge favor of??
