    Lol. You’re not going to determine which tire is better with a couple of mild tests on a Sunday afternoon.

    I didnt watch the video but price doesnt make a huge factor in off road ability of a tire. You pay extra for the on road performance...

    Good luck balancing a chinese 40" tire to ride smooth at 80mph.

    Ok i skimmed through the video.

    First problem with the test is they are in california testing in a dry environment. Even bald tires can perform well there. :laughing:

    Went to the local Discount Tire and this is the only quote they could give me (37" AT tires on 18" wheels). Crazy!
