Give me AC, my MP3 player, 7 speaker sound, and an ice chest, and I'm ready for Baja!

Gadget appears to be the "Misfit" here running Goodyear and not the "Tried & True" BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO tire on his Bronco.   Have you
not been to Baja before??? 
But wait, you're not driving a Toyota Tacoma??? What gives???

I have a set of them also. They will go back on when the free sponsored Goodyears are done. I love free!!! Pretty good tires too.

This tread starts witha picture of hay burners. Me thinks this is hijackism.
Jack with Goodyear saw print and video coverage of what the Locos do and liked it. Asked us to run a string of pits for the Vegas to Reno and paid us
with 6 tires in size, type, each. We just had to actually put them on our rigs and wear em out.
I like them in the dirt, very grippy. Soft compound is going away pretty quick on pavement though.

As OEM tires on my Rubicon, they began to wear irregularly and they became very loud. In the dirt, you can see how those tread blocks seem to dig at
the dirt. For a radial, they seem bulletproof.

I run MTRs on my 4runner. Love them.
Although I do have to say, most of my Baja elder's run BFG A/T's ... the MTR's might be a little better. The side walls are pretty much bullet proof
running over sharp rocks/cacti

Can you imagine if the troops in IRAQ ran BFG AT/KOs on their HumVs instead of MT/Rs?
Check out this thread, where we're talking all about those BFG ATs:
