Im guessing its not ring related because there is no oil in the exhaust ports. But who knows.

That's not how bad rings work. Bad rings cause the compression to go past and get into the crankcase. Causing blow by.

I guess, but when I think of blow by I think of oily air filters, fouled out sparkplugs and the wonderful smell of burning oil. Guess mines not that bad yet lol.

I don't have these but my dad does, and I am jealous of them every time he bolts them up, they're just great tires. I have 33" tsl swampers and there nice too, but its hard to compete with that triple sidewall

I've never done the chalk test on my 35's KM2 but i run them at 33psi on the street, which might be too high, but it sees a lot of highway miles.

In the snow I run them down to 5psi, and on the trails I run about 12.5. So far never had a problem.

When does Evans Creek re-open? I googled but didn't find anything official screaming, "its open". Ive heard rumors its open but before I pack up and drive out there I'd like to know for sure.
