I was running them year round but took them off last laborday weekend to see what it was like riding up your way. I actually like the tires better up in Maine. Although I did get stuck once and had to winch out. I like the new machines but want the laterals. Like I said I never got to full throttle going up some big hills. with about 500 lbs in passenger and another 30 in guns and ammo. Not even close in the 18.
