Ah, then yes, you and I had the same experience. I would never use DR's as my every day tire on my car.

Moundir, now I know why you almost ended up off roading with those tires -- too temperamental.

Speaking of wheels and tires, do any of you use an electric impact wrench to take off your lugs when changing wheels? The other day when trying to remove my rear wheels, I encountered something I had never encountered before -- a couple lug nuts that neither I nor my race buddy could remove with a t-bar. I must have been putting 200 pounds of pressure on that freakin thing to the point where it bruised my palms, and it would not come loose. Ended up stopping by a local tire shop where they took it off in 2 seconds with their impact wrench.

I ended up getting one, but it must be too weak, as it won't spin the lugs which are now tightened down to 90 pounds.
