Ummm, I'm pretty sure he was kidding. The bigger the tire the worse the mileage.
Reason being, bigger tires weigh more.

no way? I thought the '44' in d44 meant you could run 44s no problem

edit: serioulsy though, it would be nice to put together a FAQ, but for some reason FTE has stopped using stickies(for the most part), not really sure what thats all about.

The older I get, the more I find that my best tool is a brain, and the worst is testosterone

Never plan on the other guy having something to pull you out with. Take your own strap or chain.

Always wheel alone, that way you are real careful. Kinda like cutting towards yourself with a knife.

Per Steve - when mudding, always bring the significant other along so there's someone to hook up the winch. Wife is also good for holding the beer cooler in when in extreme water.
