Hahahaah, great job. I typically do that about once a week, but I am falling behind lately.

You have time once a week man that must be nice

Nice job Meister!
But you're missing something...

Well, no, not really, thats why Im falling behind lol. But I usually will do whatever it takes to make the time.

I had knee surgery this summer, and the truck actually went like two months without getting washed/detailed. That was very difficult for a ocd freak like myself!

I go in for a spinal cord stimulator in a few weeks so I wanted a good job done before that and winter

How do these ironman treat you?
They sure look good.

They have served the purpose of cheap 35s to see if I wanted to stay there or go 37s. Tread is pretty good, they chunk a little offroad and are mud tires so they are kinda loud but I don't notice them. They have gotten me stuck once but I was in loose dirt/clay in the front buried to the hub. They wear kind of quickly as I expected. Will go with an RT or the STT pros next. Once these wear down more. Will get about 20k maybe 25k outta them. Probably half tread maybe a bit more at that point

Damn, good luck with that man!

Well it either helps or it's a full multi level fusion so I'm hoping it works.....broke it in Afghanistan

Based on my son-in-law's one word reply to me in regards to last winter's performance of his 35" STT Pro tires on a 2018 Jeep Rubicon within the Colo Spgs region, they aren't going on my Power Wagon for my Western Slope winter driving. mikesjeep.com has additional words echoing his view of their winter performance. The R/T is similar in design in that some of the tread lugs aren't siped. Granted the Power Wagon is a heavier vehicle than a Rubicon.

Good point. It's always a tough decision to have offroad performance and good on snow and ice. The wagon is alot heavier and I haven't commited to any tire yet. Reading the article at Mike's jeep they also review the trail hog. They look alot like the duratrac. I also am not sure about longevity of the tire due to the weight of the PW

If you need good snow performance, especially on road with slush and ice and overall minimal snow, a heavily siped AT or straight up designated snow tire work the best. Large, blocky tread design tires (most MT’s) with minimal to no siping pretty much suck in the snow. Period. Grooving them and/or getting them siped can help a lot, but they still cant hardly compare.

That's it, you hit right on it. That's the one word my son-in-law used to describe the STT Pro winter performance, "suck".

Got 4 seasons of off road terrain in the Rocky Mountains...snow, ice, mud, and sharp jagged rocks. A hybrid tire (rough terrain, R/T) which can handle all four decently is what is really needed out here. In between a M/T and an A/T. Otherwise, I switch to dedicated studded winter tires on two of our cars come the snow season. Run Cooper S/T Maxx all year on the PW.
