    Default Directional mud tire

    I understand the tires have to always stay on same side of truck when rotated but what are the disadvantages of a directional tire.

    I have read plenty of reviews on them and only couple said anything negative so now it is time for the professionals on scducks to give there opinion

    They dont pull for shit in reverse!

    But when you do, they need to pull!

    Best idea ever is to run power cables to the rear of your truck and put the winch connector on them. Get a Warn winch that mounts in a receiver hitch bracket and if your ass gets stuck you can put the winch in your receiver hitch and pull your ass out backwards.



    Oh and I’m not a fan of directional tires

    Also even though I don’t do this you’re suppose to rotate the tires in a rearward cross. So move the rears to the front on the same side and take the fronts and cross them to the rear (drivers front to pass rear).
    More fuel = more boost!!

    And add a front receiver hitch.
