As a tire salesman, it never works to try and nickel and dime your tire dealer. He always gets even in the end. Service is everything.

Always be honest with the tire sales staff, do you really need that "Super Bad Awesome Mud Monster" tire? More than likely not. 90% or more of all miles an all but dedicated off road machines are on pavement. How much noise, & how little wear do you want? Also think about who will be driving the vehicle. You, spouse, kids, friends, other family? Can they handle a vehicle with handling different than normal due to the tires.

As for myself, I'll take a mud tire for the traction. Most are made well enough they are fairly quiet. I just know to watch my driving when I put my Interco Super Swamper TSL/SX tires on. Also, I have run these in the snow and ice, they weren't too bad for me. Just sayin you have to know what you're doin.

Thanks Jack!

It is often most valuable to hear what the locals use in the particular terrain and conditions. And using your dealers knowledge as well can save you dollars later on.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
