Because that would have anything to do with it. And it had started to rain, I highly doubt they were caked.

Sorry you lost your Jeep, M/T can get a little hairy some timea. Glad your okay tho

And your experience come from where? Have you driven a lifted Jeep on mud terrains? Or anything with extremely aggressive mud terrains?

Well son, I've driven in almost any condition you can think of. Lifted jeeps, trucks, station wagons, VW Bugs. You want to tell me that driving too fast for conditions is the fault of tires?? Sorry, that doesn't wash with me.

I remember sliding on a bunch of wet roads on my old TSL's. Great offroad but on road they are loud, rough, wear fast and not good at all on pavement.
Sorry about your XJ, glad your ok though

Dont call me son smart ***. I asked a question. Just because you took offence to it isn't my fault. I asked if you had experience, and as you stated you do. Therefore, your statement holds more ground.

So were you cited at all? I wonder what sort of ticket you might get? Look if you were going 10 or 15 mph you might not have had an accident. You can't treat an off road vehicle like a family car in a lot of situations, that was my point really. You can't blame tires for a mistake.

I was only driven 35MPH. Hit the brakes could not steer hit the brakes again trying to grab traction as much as I could. Wasn't getting nothing I know how these tires are. I slide everytime it rains there not meant for road at all. And yes I should have known better and been more cautious but it wasn't meant to be drove on road besides to get to trails and back. And yes I know how to control of vehical bub.

I hit the brakes plenty far away to slow down. A good quarter mile. Cherokees arnt very heavy and with these tires are very easy to control. I've drove everything you can think of including trucks weight matters all as much as tires makes a bigg diffrence on handling. It drove amazing until its wet and fresh pooring rain isn't easy with these tires.
