I ended up going up hahns peak, a bit rougher than the wife was comfortable with but even on stock tire/suspension - I did unfortunately puncture a tire but frankly that was to be expected on the stock michilins - and I am not even sure it happened on the trail considering it was a screw driver bit that got stuck in the tire...
some of the trails were a little narrow for the LC and only once was the LC challenged for traction, as a result of a wrong turn I ended up on a motor cycle path and had to turn around, that's when the wife got skerred...
