Thanks appreciate it. Tire is a BFG KM3 UTV in 35x11 on a 7.5” wide wheel, ~30% lighter than the 35x12.5 on a 16x9. 35x11 w/ wheel 70lbs 315/75R15 w/ wheel 100lbs Makes a big difference with a small motor!

Alot of folks seem to be car show guys, not offroaders. Definitely lets hit it when it cools down. I've got a few trips planned to head up to the cinders this year.

Added you on IG @BlazeOrange3, lets get together sometime when it cools down.
