Snow is back in Colorado!! - Land Rovers Only

Disco Mike · 10-15-2007, 03:41 PM

Here is a link showing what started out as a group of 3 Disco's playing in the snow, to a bottle neck of 15 Rovers, 12 were newbees from a local Rover dealer on their first trip out.

Guess how much fun we had pulling people back onto the trails and slipping around in nearly 12"s of snow.

I love snow also, but I think my Subarus were even more fun than the Rovers.

Nice pics Mike.

My BFG MT's did good and so did another's MTR's. It really depends on the type of snow. AT's aren't bad. Sipes help a lot.

From my experience!!!!

MT's SUCK in snow, UNLESS you sipe, if you sipe they do great!

I prefer my AT's overall, they have never let me down! My BFG at ko's have done outstanding and I have no reason to go to MT's. I had a pair once and was highly dissappointed! But if you are a MT person around snow get siping and you will be fine!

I had my BFG MT's siped last year, what a difference on snow and ice.

I was really close to being one of the newbs with that dealer group, they emailed me asking if I wanted to go, but luckily I was wise enough to know that my crappy Kumho's wouldn't be good on a snowy trail.....

I Love winter, I hope this year is as snow as last years winter.

Hey Mike,

I was going to head out with you guys on Sunday, but had too much to do. Lots of drama going on in the solihull threads.

Snow on pavement and snow off pavement are two very different things
