peerless widetrack baja (thats the lettering on the side) they are nice deep tread and do great in dry (duh, most tires will) and rain, but once you put anything worse than that they tend to spin and slip(they seem to be wearing pretty long too, look brand new still ), my old cooper ASTs were great, too bad they discontinued them, guess ill have to spring for the expensive ATRs next time

and btw, i did not put these tires on it, my parents wrecked one of my ASTs and offered to replace it for me, when it was discontinued they just put w/e the felt on it

Dont ban me but doesnt dodge stand for Drips Oil Drops Grease Everywhere. or Dear Old Dads Garage Experiment. I like my new durango but I had a 98 Dakato that was the biggest pos I ever owned.

"Dem Old Dudes Go Everywhere"

I had an old 86 Ram 150 and it was a great truck no problems except typical maintenance, I have my D and have the a bunch of engine mods and only problem was I hit a deer and had to replace the deer and I had to replace the IAC because it was stalling. I also got a Ram 3500 Dually with 24v Cummins and not a problem at all yet.

On the flip side I had a 90 Camaro and it was the biggest PITA to work on and ended up being nice after I replace EVERYTHING including a RamJet 350. My fiancée had a 93 Chevy Suburban and it was in the repair shop more times than we could drive it. I believe that sometimes you just get lucky but with Dodge it's just how you drive it and maintain it.

I'm a Mopar Man 4 Life!

Nothing super exciting, we got about 2-3 inches here in Charlotte, NC. Didn't get a chance to make it off road.
