Skulls+ultra aggressive tread=win. I say go for it... anything with skulls can climb Everest no problem... its proven... check out the hummer forums.

The only thing that gives you better traction than skulls is barbed wire.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I don't really care what a tire looks like as long it works. I have no experience with these but seriously considered them when I was looking for tires. My conclusion is that they are louder then Dick Cepek Mud Countries and perform a little better, espeacilly in mud. The bones are kinda like paddles on a bogger, nice offroad, loud on the road.

u would think that but i ran a set of xterrains(31-1050) in the winter 5 years ago and never looked back ran them between 30 to 25 though and  got 60000kms plus outta them.....; i think tires are one thing driver mod helps alot.........  plus i drive to and from tuscany to irricana everyday so really if i hit the ditch i like to get outta the ditch (knock on wood only hit ditch oce while i was in control of vechile in life)

see i dont carry a cell phone for various legal reasons.... so being self reliant is important to me...

I'd imagine they would suck in winter conditions, I'd be inclined to go a different direction. There are better tires for a DD, and better tires for a trail rig. But yeah, I'd imagine these tires would rock in deep snow. Which is good because you'll probably be spending a fair amount of time in the ditch actually never mind that, they should be ok, mediocre on winter roads.

I love the look of those tires, and was seriously considering a set until a fair bit of reading seemed to indicate that they suck as a winter tire.  Deep snow seems to be no issue, but most people seemed to rate them sub-par for slick/icy roads.  Aside from that, they seem well regarded for rock, mud, etc.

It's a shame really, since I think they look great.

Now that being said, it was all online research........no first hand experiance or stories.

Get a set of 54's an put em on the hog!!
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
