It was fun smoking the Yokos.

How do those tires do on the wet surfaces? Have you been through any mud with them?

MT/Rs do relatively poor in the mud.

Of course, different needs for different trucks.

Alot better than having a Dana 44 axle smash living snot out of your T100 oil pan.

Botton line, this low you HAVE to. Build a Monster Truck and it does not matter.
