True but with 31x10.5 tires inflated to 32-35lbs like most people do, the
contact patch is real small. I'd bet a paycheck (albeit a military one, i.e.
small) that if Paw reduced his tire pressure to where the tire contact patch
is correct at around 25lbs give or take, the skidding problems will go away.

Re: tire recommendations?
Ooooh, I have done that with my previous tyres on more than a couple of
occasions on wet tarmac (the idiots in front of me had non-working rear
lights). I haven't tried it on dry tarmac yet.
