[QUOTE="rtmozingo, post: 1244641, member: 24616"] Wonder if it is just the terrain here in Central Texas...if I stomp on it, it usually just sits there spinning for a bit. I'm running 36/32 on the stock tires now. I usually go down 5-6 psi when offroading, tho, now that you mention it, the two times I was noticing this effect the most was when I didn't have my compressor with me. On my truck, all except Rock/Crawl (which I have used at Raptor Assault). Mud/Sand the most, as it has happened to fit the conditions for most of the days I've gone out ([URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-GgAqD2fYk&t=4s&list=PLbBcQaDdqeQUh4UMB-nzviFU4AZMTdEo9&index=7"]even at Raptor Assault[/URL]*). I've also used a fair bit of Baja 2H and 4H (locked and unlocked). Baja 2H is great around very tight corners, but the back end becomes so loose that you can't power out of a turn else you fling the rear end around. Baja 4H alleviates this problem since you retain your throttle steering, but when you decide to punch it the front tires pull you out and drag your back end in line. Sport 4A is great for on road use, but is a bit sluggish off-road, and the braking distance is about 150% of what it is in the offroad modes. *I timed my circuit laps at Raptor Assault. I forget the times now, but Mud/Sand mode was fastest by a second, followed by Baja mode, followed by Normal mode 4A without traction control ~6 seconds slower. I would have done sport 4A locked, but didn't have time to change it with instructor over my shoulder. [/QUOTE]
