Those of you who take your off-roading a little more seriously and don't already have some traxtion boards, may want to head on over to Amazon ASAP and get some while they are at the lowest price...
My favorite tire reviewer www.tyrereviews.com is back testing agressive A/T tires and #2 and #5 may surprise some people!
Don't forget you can go to his web site and adjust the tire test weighting, to best fit your use case.
Choose your weapons carefully.
Getting my tires rotated and my mechanic calls me over to look at my rear brake pads. A 21k miles I'm down to about 3mm, so it's time. Rotors not needed, I just want good quality Ceramic pads, for the rear, of my Badlands. I don't tow or need extra stoping power but I would like to eliminate...
I highly recommend looking at TR test reviews when looking for tires, though I do prefer some of the testing done by www.tyrereviews.com esespecially any actual off-road testing.
Got a pop up add, from The Tire Rack. Price reduced on the new Goodyear Territory RT, now just $164.36 and if you get more than $599 and have a TR or Discount Tire credit card you get another 5% off.
A good opportunity to buy a matching spare for a 2025 SAS or a new set for pre 25 models...
Not exactly that we have a lot of choices but a different take. I will add that through my 25+ year amateur motor sport life, I and many of my friends found wider wheels tend to improve on pavement handling, though at the cost of a stiffer ride.
Just looked at a review, for the 2025 Badlands. I really like the new 360 view camera system, with the view down the side of the car and the dynamic traction lines and tire tracks for the front view. not a fan of so many controls, put on screen now or really the new interior colors. The...
Pretty good review but no off-road or snow testing yet.
As this post is getting a little traction, pun intended, I thought I'd post a review by my favorite Tire (Tyre) Reviewer, TyreReviews.com . I am, actually, a monthly contributor $, to him.
He does actual off road tests and while he's not...
I think I found the Limit of the HRG mid skid at the AWD Fest. My Fault, I got impatient with the pace of our large afternoon group (to much stop time and not enough go) and didn't wait for my brother to spot me and let someone else do it and slipped of the wrong side of a football shaped rock...
I think this will be a outstanding tire for Snow, Mud and wet roads but it's a little heavy and a little more $ than a lot of it's competition. Also, as of now the smallest sizes they make are 245/70/17 and 255/65/17, both of which a few people on this forum, say fit a lifted BS but in those...
I challenge at least 4 of you to join me, for this great event!! Sponsored, in part by @HRGOffroad!!! There are a number of YouTube videos, from the last two years, of this event. OCT 18-20
The camp site will open on Friday mourning and you are required to leave by sunset on Sunday...
After an eventful day of doing Union Springs and Dunkel Hollow, we headed back, the long way, to camp, on Long Run Rd., West of Harrisonburg, via one of our favorite, scenic trails, Rough Run Rd
Check out some of our other trips here. https://www.youtube.com/@VABrosOff-Road
Here is the first video comparison I've seen of these two tires, though I'm not a big fan of YouTube's "Compare the Tire" this one seems to be better than those from last year. The down side of both of these is they will not be available, in our sizes, this year, unless you consider the...
My brother and I arrived at Uwharrie on 4/12, for a 3 day weekend camping trip. Our interest in this area reached a peak last year, after watching many video's, including Ben's, from @HRG Offroad and some others that covered the 2023 AWD Fest. After our initial plan fell through, which was a...
Well it finally happened, I ripped off most of the factory Felt mid skid plate, on my last off road adventure, to the New River Gorge National Park area, last weekend. It took about a a year and a half, of once a month, off road trips and I had previously ripped a palm sized hole in it but a...
My two biggest concerns would be the added weight and how the grip might change when it gets to that first step down, in the notches, and they disappear. Anybody know how deep that is?
Stay to the end, for his conclusions.
