Snow test complete as well... great grip and non-directional tread is a plus.

I highly recommend the Mongrels. 10 ply, DOT approved up to 80 mph (I believe), and they handle great on sand, dirt, rock, and mud. I got a little hopeful in 3 foot mud holes testing them but it made a great excuse to use the winch and practice recovering the vehicle. They fly on asphalt and are smooooth. I haven’t had my ITP Cryptids on for months now. Great T&E so far after 6 months.

I know the next modification for my XMR now. Thanks for this info and link.

Thanks man! Glad to be here. 

Southeast UTV testing Kanati Mongrels at 50+ mph and dune climbs in NC. These tires excel in sand and high speed maneuvers (given proper tire pressures for sidewall flex).

Southeast UTV having some fun in NC. Lots of mud and winching. Good times.

Testing Kanati Mongrels at 58 mph in NC with Southeast UTV.

I purchased this 2018 Defender XMR last  February of 2018 for trail riding with my group, Southeast UTV. So far it’s been awesome in all conditions across NC, SC, GA, VA, and WV. I’ve had it in four feet of water (river crossings), mud, rock, and sand. Lots of mods and currently testing it on 30” Kanati Mongrels for T&E. Only maintenance in 2018 has been greasing hubs, suspension, oil change, and adding coolant (when radiator has been clogged in mud).
