Wanna' check here if someone has a better idea or knows of something "off...

    Wet Weather Traction

    Fair enough, my 37 yr old adventure bike (R80G/S) doesn't have it either, but for my 17 yr old daughter, who is learning to drive, it would be nice and there is no way I would survive an attempt to take that jeep away from her now. Would have been nice if it had it so that it could be disabled...

    2004 Rubicon tire recommendations
