I read this as "driven to the trail" meaning on road driving too...
while not a 'daily driver'...
Some trails are farther away than others...[like paragon for us 'eh?]

TSL's for sure if you take it seriously. I like the Kumho's but I am dealt with a lot of road usage.

Thats right. For me the selling points on the MTRs are sidewall strength and overall performance - great in rocks, good in mud and snow, and quiet on the road. Ice never counts because everything sucks on ice.
