thanks for the review. I just bought the same brand of tires. So far I am really impressed. For an AT tire, its really quiet. Much quieter than what I was using which was Kumho Road Venture AT51. Haven't tested it yet on sand, will soon though. Keep up the great videos, subscribed.
You need MT tyres. I used to have AT tyres and 4 sets of chains. I pretty much got rid of those chains when I switched to MT tyres, maxxis specifically.
MT tyres could have grabbed better to those boards because it's easier for mud to 'saturate' the threads on AT tyres and make them smooth and 0 traction. Or bring chains for every trip besides those boards.
