Re: 1 2 3
So much more than I understood before. Thank you for taking the time. The KO2¡¯s are pretty stiff sidewall, and at 20 psi still stand up, but I can tell the difference. Thanks for ideas on how to

Re: 1 2 3
Hey Carol¡­¡­ people have reported that this is the same compressor as SSW sells. They were not available when I bought my compressor or I might have tried this one.

Re: 1 2 3
Hey there Fred. After the gym I did a hard 15 miles on the bicycle¡­.. It was only 90¡ã until this afternoon. Then sat in front of the TV for a bit, cooling down and drinking some water. But now is a

Re: 1 2 3
Thanks Carol, your comments are MOST welcome! I'm newly encouraged. Unless I encounter "Winter" conditions in September it looks to be a breeze. Again, many thanks for your invaluable comments! 73,

Re: 1 2 3
Capilla is my closest peak so I've been up there a lot, I can see it from my house. You should have no problems other than winter - when it is impassable without chains/winches etc. The trail is just

Re: 1 2 3
Mike thanks for the very detailed reply. I've never bothered deflating tires for going off-road because I've never considered myself to be going anywhere that "extreme", however after yesterday I

Re: 1 2 3
Capilla Peak road rocks are definitely more benign than the rocks around Gallinas. Notes: * Capilla is a drive-up. Much more fun and really quite easy is the hike along the scenic ridge to nearby Osha

Re: 1 2 3
Fred ¨C let me get back with you. I made a promise to a brother veteran that I would spread his ashes on top of Mordor Mountain (W5T/FR-001). I need to get to the gym for my work out before it gets

Re: 1 2 3
Wow! I had that one planned for Sept 24, going from NC to AZ in a Tacoma - with Michelin Defender road tires with 30,000 miles on them! But not now! On my return trip, AZ-NC, I'd planned Capilla Peak,

Re: 1 2 3
Mike, I use two tire speed-flate hoses now, and like it. They also have a four tire, but my compressor is not up to that. I like how the tires side to side can be in exact balance pressure. My

Only 3 flats? I have seen worse. I have not experienced worse? The 4X4 club I belong to is going to be putting on a class for field tire repair later this year, probably before the big Southern New
