Or similar tire. I have a trip planned this may. In case you've not heard of the Smokey Mountain 500...it's 50/50 street/dirt roads. But the videos I've been watching are often wet, rainy, muddy dirt roads. My experience with STRs on anything wet has not been positive in any way.

I could throw on a set of Motoz Tractionators and be done with the STRs but they only have 700 miles on them.

What say ya'll?

This is at a OHV trail in GA. It was two days after it rained and it was one of the worst decisions to go out there with factory stock tires. Don't do it...

I had no traction and no confidence to even give it gas...

Yeah I could see that...Georgia clay is rough on real offroad tires. And an OHV trail can be a little more muddy than an engineered road...but yeah I agree the STRs are like riding on ice in the wet.
