        Doug,
        When I test drove the Dakota before purchasing, it had the
Invicta tires on
        it. They didn't have any traction even on a dry surface. When
the Dakota
        came in, I had these swapped off for GSA's. They give good dry
surface
        traction. Wet surface is pretty good also. As far as mud,
snow, ice goes;
        forget it.

        If I remember, the tread of the RTS is a more open design than
the GSA.
        Only thing I can suggest is make sure your air pressure is
correct. This
        can make a great difference in your traction.

        P.S. My next set are going to be BFG A/T's. These are awesome
tires.

          Does anyone else have this problem? If the road is the
slightest bit
        damp and I give it more than just a little gas, the back end
breaks
        loose everytime. I have the OEM tires on the vehicle
now(Wrangler RT/S).
        I have heard these are junk. Any ideas?

          Doug
