Tire Update:
My LR3 went into the shop (go figure), so I got a loaner with the GYs. Had a pre-scheduled meeting with some tree consultants on the Ranch (see pic). We were traversing along a 5 degree slope in fairly soft soil that had recently been mowed. In my LR3 with the yoko's or my old Gx with the Revo's, this stretch of track never warranted a bit of concern. With the GY clad loaner, the rear stepped-out down the slope and pretty soon I was going sideway's at 3 mph, opposite-lock with heavy throttle and full rooster tail. Stopping was not an option, as there was a ravine about 30 feet down the slope. The truck ambled sideways into some firmer soil, and eventually pulled itself out.
I'm certain that his would never have happened with AT tires. Because you will all ask, I was in Low, Mud-Ruts, DSC off, and we had just cliimbed a 20-30 degree slope before turning left onto the 5 degree slope.
