Xterra vs Mud

At Box Car Cove, the shore has been underwater for about 50 years until just recently, so people get stuck there all the time. Since we had a truck with a winch (from Walker Towing's 4x4 recovery), we decided to see how close we could get to the water before we got stuck, and why exactly people got stuck so easy (the mud cakes around the tires, quickly turning them into nothing more than racing slicks).

lose those highway tires and you might not get stuck.

@alexrex20 #1, we were trying to get stuck. #2, in that type of mud, different tires wouldn't matter. I probably would've been stuck sooner.

LOL guys, the tires are almost brand new, and we got stuck on purpose to see how far we'd make it with a stock Xterra. We had an F-150 with a winch with us to keep pulling us out.

[melindaland]

@roberekson that type of mud does suck because it cakes into all the grooves and makes the tires like slicks.....BUT your wrong in that a MUD TERRAIN would not have been stuck there right away because of the knobs on the tire would clean themselves out and therefore traction remains...still cool to watch & nice Xterra

If you buy an SUV as a family car that won't be used for off road, what is the point of taking it out into the "mud" to see how long it takes to get stuck?
