Alright i made up my mind. Im going to get the 2 1/2 level kit from HBS probably this week or next, then a week or two after that im going to get the 285/75/16 Guard Dog M/T's. ($553.74 including shipping) Not bad at all.
yeah, I'll try and keep up with commenting on these tires as the time goes by. I do have to say tho, was 480$ to have them shipped to Omaha, NE. I ordered them on a friday night, after business hours, and received them the next Thursday, in great condition. Was pretty satisfied with that.
I got the kedge grip also, but I haven't experienced them without it. I wondered also about if it'd make them wear faster, but decided to just try it. If it makes them work better on ice/ snow, then I figure it'd be worth them wearing down a tad bit faster. When delivered tho, I looked at the tires, and couldn't see any holes/ pits anywhere, so I dunno if I have to get some wear on em to see it, or what. The shipping papers say they have the kedge grip. Anyways, it was 10 degrees this morning, and the streets on the way to work were nothing but ice/ packed snow. I didn't even have a reason to consider using my 4WD. Don't know if it was the walnut/ glass or not, but these tires have great traction. Could also be the new 1/2 inch deep tread tho.
