I think I'm going to go with the krawlers just to see what all the hype is about.
If I think they suck they will resell fast.

I want new for sure.  Just researching the weak sidewall issues.  But I let you know by this weekend.

Smike had a good point. Could just be people running very low pressure while running fast. That will do it every time.

i see to still cut brand new KRTs at 25psi.


i guess its all how and where you put your foot down. 




id skip on the crawlers, most people say the KRT is 90% of the crawler with 10X the side wall. 



for a wreck wheeler IROKs or Pitbuls, or SX's seem to do the job if you dont drive like you stole it... which apparently i have forgotten how that works.

That's right, red krawlers are of the sort that turn into ice cubes and won't move for love nor money on snow, aren't they

Ive seen it first hand on the trail with a few rigs and a bunch of us had to push a 100k buggy into his trailer because his red labels froze in the cold.
Other than winter wheeling. They are the winingest tire in the rocks.

I dont plan to wheel in the real cold weather.

Score!  Maybe I'll drive the truck to work and then swing down.
