| Brent Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: SW Colorado USA Vehicle(s): '13 Wolfsburg GTI Posts: 1754 | RE: Stuck Pictures I had a similar ordeal a few years ago with my G320. It was at an off road park in northern Minnesota. There was no sign of the mud to come early in the trail. By the time I was into it, it was too late to turn back. It took me quite a while to get out, I finally shoved some downed trees into the ruts so I would have some traction. Unlike you, I got out under my own power, but just barely. The alternator took a dump half an hour later because of the the mudd it was submerged in  Once back home, I bought a winch and mud tires  Never had the same problem again Here is a pic shortly after we made it out of the mud trap.

Or am I mistaken ?  Glad you don't have the video to show our most embarrassing moment ,still I haven't laughed more or had more fun than on that day And as I remember your winch worked overtime and you where clever enough not to drown as well Corne | |

Hi Brent , I have fixed the same tires Michelin LTX on my 280 GE last year before I traveled away from my G . They are really nice on road and been off road on dirt and rocks their performace was also satisfactory to a Multiple usage tyre . I never had a chance to drive with them in snow ? any experience with these tires on snow ? Never mind the mud i don't like it and avoid it as much as i can . ReG , Shebl | ||

It looks like that 'good' smelln mud too. If you happen to get stuck in my neck of the woods, around Knoxville, Tellico or Windrock, don't hesitate to give me a call. I can save you the Chevy embarassment at least.  | |
