Thats a nice looking beast there, hseII. It would make everything I need to do look like a piece of cake... except for fitting down my trails - lol.

My only regret is that the R4's would probably take me out to 5'8" width where I wanted to stay at 5' (which is where the R1's would be). Well, that and the fact that there are no R4 tires that will fit my turf rims and the 4x rim/tire replacement looks to be about $2258 plus shipping and tax. It makes me want to consider buying chains instead. For now I think I'll just see how bad off I will be with the turfs. I'm only two weeks into owning my L3430.

I looked into the Titan R14T tires. It looks like a really nice cross between R1 and R4. My size were not going to be available until later in June and would require custom rims - price was going to be a little over $2200 just for the rears and then would require different sized fronts to match.
