Yeah really, and with all the highway driving you do, a "softer" AT tire would have been better imo.

its a small compromise that ill take. especially since in the coming months close to every weekend will be in the woods.

i also live 8 minutes from work...so i dont do much highway driving

except when i cut two sidewalls and rip tread off a third. I was sick of replacing them.
Ahh, makes sense. I know how that feels. I replaced 2 yoko geolanders before moving over to General Grabber AT2's and they're much more durable.

Did you go up load classes by switching to Atturo's? I think that has a lot to do with my grabbers being so much more durable than my geolanders were. Just going to up to the next load class I can feel the tire is stiffer and even when I air down to 18psi I only get minimal sidewall flex where the geolanders would look flat at 18psi.

I was under the impression you did a lot of highway driving. Alright then I take back what I said.

Only option is KO2 for higher load.

I spy another OB back there. Grant are you breeding em now? Trailer looks good. How was the tow?

Headed to the coast in two weeks for a quick weekend. Just replaced the original 2010 battery yesterday LoL.

It was a weekend with 11 vehicles that another subaru owner an I organized

It towed amazing honestly. Besides the lack of MPG with all my stuff compiled (rack, bumper, tires, aerodynamics ruined and trailer) it was pretty uneventful. The trailer is most likely one of the best pulling trailers ive ever owned. With a lock and roll hitch its silent on the road

16mpg? ;-) my 21ft 8.5ft wide racing sailboat was a solid 16mpg at 70mph with a head wind. Full trailer length mode was 27ft then about another 15ft of mast up over the car. 1800lbs all up. No head wind and 55-60mph I saw 18mpg and on rare occasions 21mpg but that was a really sleek enclosed hull that sat even with the OB roof line.
