I'd bet that these tires should work fine on my stock drivetrain Dodge Ram.

P.S. You could even run them on the street in a stock sammy, if you can get them to clear.

With gearing (axle and t-case) you could run them in a Kick but it would be sluggish and you would start snapping drive line componets if you used much gas padal off road. If your mainly street and drive easy off road you MIGHT be OK.

Samis? I dont have a clue.

Ya boggers tear things up. when you spin them off road they are like a jack hammer on your drive train.

Dunlop Mud Rover.

From what I have read they are a good off road tire, decent on road, and the price is reasonable.
