Tire Reviews

So you got the lift picked out, every color matched accessory, and LED lights bright enough to rival the sun. Then you look at those sad stock wheels and tires.

When a product review comes to an end I usually have one of two thoughts about it. The more common feeling is that I am ready to move on to something else. That’s the nature of this business. In the case of the TeraFlex Nomad wheel, it was the less common feeling of knowing I…

I know, two snow reviews so close together. Unfortunately snow was a rare occurrence the last two years and we had to maximize the weather we got.

It’s hard to believe we have been running the BFGoodrich KM3 for almost a year. Thankfully we have been able to get some snow testing in 2021 and we can finally provide some more feedback on the tires performance.

When I chose the KM3 as the next mud-terrain review I didn’t realize that we had never reviewed a BFGoodrich tire. I have owned several sets but had never put them to print. That changes today.

Dick Cepek was an off-road legend, a member of the off-road motorsports hall of fame and he created one of the very first off-road industries. His very first product offered was a wider and more durable off-road tire that he had built for himself.

With the advent of the hybrid mud-terrain tires from almost every manufacturer, the Cobalt from Interco is a genuine throwback to a single purpose tire with some modern tweaks.

Normally we don’t run a second review on a tire so close to the last one, we also didn’t expect to get snow right after publishing it either.

With the advent of mud terrain tires that incorporate many of the features that used to differentiate them from their all-terrain brethren, is there a reason to buy all-terrain tires anymore?
