Ouch, glad you're ok! I'm happy to hear that you're happy with your Geolandars so far. :) What tires are you thinking of for your summer setup?

Thanks Dkaz, so am I  ;D vehicles are much easier to replace than people. Accident wasn't too severe, I was just hit in about the worst spot which wrecked my suspension hence the right off.

Not sure on the summer tires yet. I've actually done some research on the Michelin LTZ's and they are actually rated pretty good, ones I have are actually worn down quite a bit. However, looking more for a tire for good traction in the rain (the original tires on the Pathfinder, mine anyway, were Bridgestone Deulers and I wouldn't recommend those to my worst enemy). I do want an all season for my summers' as opposed to a summer tire, as we can get snow in August, September, May, June, heck, it even snowed once here in July (though it melted by the time it hit the ground). I'll just do some more research I guess and see what other people here recommend for a good all season to run in spring/summer/fall.

Agreed!

Lol I lived in Edmonton until 93... in August of 92 there was a cm or two of snow accumulation on the ground. Good times. I run performance all-seasons in the summer myself, it's been a long debate of whether or not to go with dedicated summers. Or maybe go with three sets of tires/wheels.

Do you do quite a bit of offroading?
