Kinda Stuck in 6 inches of mud
I took my son hunting at the local state game lands, while out looking for just one damn deer it rained buckets on top of some pretty crappy weather earlier. It was just getting dark as we got back to the H3 which was parked in a grassy field. I noticed pulling in that the grass was just tearing up under the tires but no problem getting in. As we were leaving the hummer went about 20 feet and just spun, 6 inches of soupy mud. I could have backed out but that would have seemed to have been admitting I stuck my H3 so I backed up and got a little run, we made it but I ever imagined 6 inches of mud giving my H3 so much trouble. I have taken it over some serious trails up in the mountians, in some pretty deep snow over the mountians, BUT 6 INCHES OF MUD!!!!! I did have to go back and pull the guy in the F250 out after he sat there and chuckled at our difficulties getting out. He moved about 5 feet and dug himself in halfway to the diffs.

If you're not getting stuck you're not living.  |

Re: Kinda Stuck in 6 inches of mud
Odd, I've gone through more than 6" of mud with the stock tires and never had an issue, and now with MT's it's a breeze (thank you rain for all the nice mud and floods to play in ) |

Re: Kinda Stuck in 6 inches of mud
Wet mud has quite a bit of suction.

Re: Kinda Stuck in 6 inches of mud
it was well after dusk but i know where the guy lives, i will tell him we have to do a daylight re-enactment. I really like the stock 33 tires
but in mud they suck big time.
Have not really thought of new tires since I only have 20,000 miles but i may need to re consider.
