Thanks Mike I have kinda have been wondering that about the treadwright tires so really what's the point using them with the possibility of other issues that others have had. I think you mention the cost per-mile in another posts but might have not had as much miles with them. I have been debating between the grabber AT2 & cooper Discovery AT3. The coopers are about $22 more but have a tread life Warranty in LT were the grabbers do not, hmm.

It's between Lexington and London. The have some trails around the river there. There are a few decent places to ride in that area. The 3 of us should put something together this year.

Just breakin balls lol
Generally speaking if it's not a passenger car I'll use truck tires on it, pick up, suv etc. Even if you're 90% on road and go with the passenger car tire, there's a decent chance you'll loose whatever savings you had when you have to replace it because of that 10% of the time you're off-road and you tear a sidewall. Sounds like you've made the safe choice.

Everyone wants a KY ride! Ha ha, I've been told there are some nice trails around your area. I will have to look into that .Did some wheeling in Seabree a few years ago. It was pretty nice.
