HWY 63 from Jasper to Lufkin was a sheet of ice. I spun out and off the road more times than I could count. Luckily I was able to ease back on and get to Lufkin. I think the normally 4 hour drive took me 7.
And a 4WD definitely would have helped, I was passed by many.
So dumb. No cell phone, nothing.
I once had a set of Swamper Thornbirds and found myself complete a 360 after turning onto an adjacent road. That was just from light rain. Ill safely claim that 'Birds are prob the worst tire in the world to have on a truck today.

Indeed! I had some on my Tacoma in the ‘90s. The last truck I owned I had BF Goodrich. I’m a customer of theirs for life when it comes to all terrains.
