My wife is bringing our Yukon so I can tow it home if I break it. :o


Why are you bring the Yukon if you think it might break down?  Even for a Zook, that Yukon might be too heave to tow home.

Yep, one of the 2 Ive ever blown. Thats what the spare is for.  I slapped it into that hole hard though. If it had been aired up it probabally would have bent an axle flange.

I don't plan on getting stuck so I'll go WOT as much as needed.

I'm running 31x10.5's and usually run them around 6-8PSI and have very good luck with that.  This last really deep snow we got, 8PSI semed to work nicely
When I bump up to my new 33 TSL's I'll be letting ALL of the air out of them and driving around the yard for a few days to help break in the sidewalls.  Took about a week with the 31's doing that before the sidewalls really started to flex.
