Edited: (Anakee Wild is NOT available)
So I got4 3 tires to choose from for my Texas to Colorado. Then Colorado to Calgary. Then Calgary back to Texas trip.
I have a fairly new K60 on the rear. Safe to say it would likely survive the whole trip. After all, it is the mileage KING. (even if I don't get the same long life as some do)
I also have an unused Big Block
I have a Anakee Wild on its way
And I have a Karoo 3 on its way.
Pretty sure I will run the K60 up to Colorado. And then when I get there, IF THE PASSES are open, throw on the Big Block.
This would require me to haul it up there Nick Sanders style. (Strapped on) I've done it before with a Karroo for Big Bend. Was a piece of cake.
But we all know without a shadow of a doubt, the Big Block will only be good for that week. So if that is what I do, the K60 will be the remounted tire for the rest of the trip. (Tarmac mostly, I imagine)
But I just can't come to grips with leaving the new Wild or Karroo 3 at home. It's like not taking all your guns to a gun fight.
If there was just some history with either of these tires and someone could show a reasonable expectation of their life span, I could possibly try one out.
Basically, something in the back of my mind says I will like that KArroo3 on tarmac every bit as much as the K60. Not sure if I will like it as much off road.
See? It's a dilemna.
