IMO - not bad, just different. A bit noisier and tend to track a little less well on the highway. My experience is that the KO3 isn't meaningfully better offroad. Side by side I think they're very comparable on the trail. The KO3 claims to be a...

Yeah. Seems like most manufacturers avoid those taller skinnier tires in the USA. BFG has the 34x9.5 that's pretty close and BFG is a sister brand with Michelin so I'm not sure why they don't. And they sell 7.5x16 tire size in lots of places...

Michelin seems to be allergic to any tire aspect over 70%. :-(

I wanted to talk about function over form and my opinions on why I think the Michelin Defender LTX is one of the best "all-terrain" tires out these for a majority of 4wd enthusiast/Overlanders... Before I begin let me cite a few sources on why I...

I'm about a year into a new set of Defender 2s on my tundra in 295/70/18 size. I had the same Defender in a P275/60/18 prior. One thing I noticed is that the LT version is worse on snow and ice. I expected them to be very similar, but it was a...

Took the family out to the mountains for the 4th. MY dogs hate fireworks so much. It's a great excuse to get lost for a few days. And finally got to use my new Ironman awing and screenroom. Love this thing, easy setup/take down. Although, I...

Used the roof rack for independence celebrations! Crosbyton, TX.

I rented a 2nd gen Sequoia in Alaska and paid for unlimited miles. We put almost 1,000 miles on it, driving all over the typical places in the southern part of the state. Seemed like it had slightly bigger than stock tires, but I didn't look at...

It wasn't until after the 2014 refresh that sales really did well. I'm not sure how this gen will do. I don't think it'll sell as well as the outgoing 4R generation. But maybe that's just my blinders because I don't like the new cabin design.

The VW ownership is a big asterisk for me. I'm really curious to see more details on suspension final design, drive systems, and especially what the engine is and how it's packaged.

No Swasticars. Hard pass on Telsa. I also have a deposit for a Scout Traveler hybrid. Still too early to know if it's something I'd want or not. But absolutely ev or PHEV will be the next daily driver car for me. Most of the time I really just...

Simple reliable modern vehicle? Sure - they could build em. But no one buys them. Look how many people buy an SR tundra or Tacoma. Same is true for a Wrangler base model or a base bronco. Most people would opt to buy a 3 year old Rubicon vs a new...
