Good Run Today!  Aaron managed to break the stubby shaft on his D30 in an extremely bold attempt to clear some deep thick mud, So close yet ...no. I managed to bend my drivers side D30 control arm mount really good, didn't notice until I got onto the highway and my wheel was cocked to the right quite a bit.


 I finally got to really test my MTR's (these past two days) and holy smokes do they perform, mud /rocks/ dirt, they are miles ahead  especially in the wet. These tires pull hard in every condition I could throw at them today. Aside from boggers I have never been more impressed by a tire on the trail.

Good run today and I hope that I'll get to wheel everyone who came out again soon

wow, they must have changed designs over the years because the last 2 sets of MTR's i had (2003, 2006) SUCKED in mud but great in everything else.

Yeah its the relatively new MT/R with Kevlar. Here is a shot of mine from a couple of weekends ago, I couldn't be happier with these tires.



I didn't really give them a good shot till the run on Sunday and they certainly were impressive
