Sometimes they make you pay court cost, other times they waive it.

Just be smart enough to not take your truck with tint to court and use the picture of the truck w/o tint. Definitely had a friend get contempt of court doing something similar.

And for anyone interested in convoying out from Richmond, there's 4 or 5 Explorers meeting up at the Park N Ride just off I-64 on rt 623.

Might have someone buying my 36in Iroks....Not that I don't LOVE the tire offroad and the cool hum they got driving down the road, I don't think they like pavement that much. They are wearing good but not sure how long they will last. Plus a guy is interested and I'll use the money to maybe try out the MT/R w. Kevlar.

I'm a tire junky, I like trying out new tires.

My first 33 MT Tire in the picture above at the time I thought was the best. For a MT they actually weren't that bad.

Then I had the 35x10.50 Boggers and I LOVE this tire in mud....suck on rocks, and the skinny boggers aren't bad to drive onroad, plus they make loud HOWLING sounds.

I've had the old school 35x12.50 MTR's an liked these but they pissed me off on sloppy hill climbs

I've had the 35x12.50 Trxus an they ride great on road...great trail tire, ok in mud, pretty decent on rocks. All around good tire. Very quiet.

If I get these Iroks sold I may try the new MT/R with Kevlar because I hear nothing but good reviews online and in person an say they are a lot better then the old ones. I hate the design though. But if they perform well who cares.

Will see if I get these Iroks sold first. Not to concerned about selling them because I like them.

I can tell you the new MT/R's wear just like a good ole M/T on the road.. Granted they're on an Avalanche, my uncle bought a set about a year ago, they have less than 8k on them and wear is already really obvious. He buried the Avalanche above the rear hubs like 4 or 5 times down in OBX this summer, put the thing in 4x4 and rolled right out every time.. never had to air down.

Also, as long as the rocks are dry, I've never seen anything out perform the BFGoodrich A/T.. I don't know what it is but holy crap those things stick to smooth (virginia) rocks like glue..

I'm going to shoot you. I'll never own a A/T....i've seen them perform and I giggle. You have to get to the rocks before you can use them, and well you might as well tow yourself thru the mud and hill climbs to get there.

Very true, I'm just saying; When.. excuse me.. IF you get to the rocks, those A/T's do werrk!!

I personally have never gotten stuck with mine aaaand I've been in some hairy situations. But then again, I'm rreeal methodical with my off road driving
