Ditto, and with high beams that's many times the only thing I can
see are the sides of the road as straight ahead is dark nothing as it's
just space off a cliff on our California mountain roads.

Yep, all that is how I ended up with the X-radials LT version. For the low
level off roading I do (power line trails) they work fine. So what did they

BJs with the lifetime servicing on them. And I still have that 215 Goodyear
POS on the back....
