Kelly Safari TSR Disco 1
Updated 10/10/2010 w/pics
Just had a set of Kelly Safari TSRs 245/75/16 installed with no lift. I had to call around and get the lowest price possible in order to get the best "price match" from my local tire shop. I end up getting them installed with all the extras for $700 out the door. There's not too much feedback out there on these tires so I thought I'd start a thread. I'll add to the thread as I put miles and different types of terrain encountered. I live in Michigan that gets hit pretty good with snow and ice. We also have very sandy off road trails as well as mud.
Surprisingly road noise is extremely low with windows up or down. I don't feel the "squirmy" effect usually associated with this style of tire during cornering.
At full turn of the steering wheel I do hear the ***** rub a bit. This was expected going this large with no mods to suspension.
I'll keep updating as time passes.

What's the name of the trails you went through with the family in ******* or was it Grayling? Did they have lodging?

As you see from the pics Michigan has various types of terrain all in one area. This was done at "The Mounds" in Genesse county. Cost only $11 to enter and many miles or acres to play around. Many helpful people to yank you out if needed.
I know this pit don't seem like much for you veterans but for my first outing It felt great to conquer.

I want to go to that off road park too, been wanting for some time now.
I go in *******, we stay at my mom's.
There is no name for it, it is just the Air Gunnery Range, lots of sand, and I mean LOTS.
Exit 172? off of I-75 (Waters exit), go east until it turns to dirt, pick up the trails any where you want.
Keep your eyes open for UXO.
Look close in this pic.
I have pics of the tanks and trucks they use for target practice but I cant find them right now.
