[quote=MAILMANWV;1810987]tired of getting stuck in wet fields!!!




That reminds me of when my truck was new in 1997. I was parked on the grass at a local watering hole, it rained while we were inside "testing beverage temperatures". When I was leaving some of my fellow "inspectors" came out to check out my new truck. I was bragging how this thing would probably go anywhere hauling anything! I hopped up in the cab, started it up and exclaimed "Listen ti THAT!", I put her in first gear, released the clutch and spun tires without moving an inch. The howling and laughing even made me smile as I got out to lock my hubs. I STILL hear about that! After I wore those original Generals (junk) I went to more agressive treads.

On that note stay away from Dunlops. I had a set, I had a rear blowout hauling a trailer in the mountains one week, then the next week I found a bulge on the front. I removed the front wheel and threw it in the back. It exploded a few days later just sitting there! After the THIRD tire blew I contacted Dunlop. They sent me one of the usual form letters that companies send to get out of standing behind their products, you know the ones..."After the 1st 3 months or 3/32ths of tread wear, blah, blah, blah...".

I wouldn't put Dunlops on my lawn mower! I even switched out my Harley tires from Dunlops (Which I always ran) to Avons (WOW! what a differance!).
