Nips is on a distinguished road
Default First impressions-GY Wrangler MT/R Kevlar

I finally got the oppportunity to take the H3T offroading this past weekend and to try out my new shoes. I have about 1,000 miles on the tires so far. I am running the 315/75 R16. The tires were aired down to 16 psi for this event. I was very impressed with their performance. They made me look like i knew what I was doing. I attached a few pics of them in action.

On the road- Road noise is less than expected. They will growl some at low speeds but the noise is not nearly what you would expect at 60-70 mph.

In the sand- I got into some sand/pea gravel mix. They definitely would dig a hole if you allowed them to but seemed to float nicely across without any issues.

On the rocks- We did a few climbs on rocks/concrete hills. The tires stuck to the surface and provided virtually no slippage while going up. They provided excellent control. I did use front/rear lockers while climbing. The tires complemented the lockers very nicely.

In the mud- I mainly used them on trails that were very slick mud/branch type of footings. They gripped really well and once again provided good control as they cleaned out very well.
