They weren't gone at that point. They probably still had 10k or more
left on them, but their overall performance sucked so bad that I had
to get rid of them.

Even in the lightest bit of mud, they bogged down like nothing.

I don't drive off-road that often (wish I did). I don't race, I don't
go to the track.. none of that. I'm actually pretty easy on it most
of the time.
