Rich,
Sounds like that was my problem, and believe me, I love those BFG tires!
I've never run with anything else since my truck came from the dealership
with a brand new set of them (gotta love the guy that traded in this baby) -
and so far I've not found a surface they couldn't handle. Well, outside of
that road in Richmond! Back north in Boston, I never even had much of a
problem with black ice while the other cars and trucks were sliding all over
the place. However, I was extremely relieved to see the Welcome to
Tennessee sign yesterday! I've been on the edge of the country for long
enough now that I had forgotten just how much I dislike driving in major
cities ;o) It was good to be home.
