Let this be a safety warning to all. My son found out the hard way that 33" Pro Comp Xterrains don't grip the ground when you slam on the brakes at 40mph. He said it felt like he was on ice as he sailed through the red light and broad-sidded a caddy. He should have been paying closer attention but theese tires are not safe on the street! Please be carefull everyone. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Picasa

SAo he left black marks? I'd first think the little brakes weren't strong enough to lock up those big meats. Big JIm <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Faint marks, he said it sounded more like a scuffing noise than a screeching noise.

Thank you for asking, my son is OK, still a little depressed since he had big plans for the jeep. We live only one hour from some of the best trails in the Central Sierras. My 13 year old daughter was in the passenger seat, the shoulder belt did not latch, she planted her teeth in the padded part of the dash leaving her braces imprinted in the dash, and she bruised her knee cap on the lower part of the dash and is still using a knee support.
