- Pizza cutters in mud = deep narrow hole dug very quickly with a stuck jeep in it
- pizza cutters on rock = less footprint which = less traction
narrow tires are only beneficial (for wheeling purposes) in snow and rain
obviously they have weight benefits for dd'ing as well2001 TJ

there are numerous particular spots where i plainly did better with 12.50s as opposed to my 2 sets of 10.50s.
either way, there are way too many factors and variables in any case of wheeling to nail down the fact that its tire width related at any given point.- Will

I read up on it a lot and from what I found there are only a couple spots i think 1 in TN and 1 in MO that you have to detour in a jeep and then they talked about a couple passes in CO that are pretty narly, i think that was more that it was scary as shit than you couldnt really do it in a jeepOriginally posted by Ktmracer419 View Posti was lookin for something that said that
i think i would rather do it in a jeep.
i get sick of my bike after a few hours of highway riding. i have been out exping in ct for maybe 8 hours at a time and that is easier on me than highway.
idk about doing it everyday across the country thoughYou better decide if you are hanging on the cross, or banging in the nails
