Poor grip on grass a surprise

[Lewis07]

Goodrich Mud Terrain tyres but really surprised at lack of grip on grass. Didn't expect glue-like adhesion but more like a skate rink! I would point out that I'm a newbie.

Wet grass is pretty interesting on any tyres, particularly on a downward slope where you might need to be precise and the underlying ground is hard (I`ve had a few dramas with farmgates and dry stone walls when its just been raining after a dry spell).I wouldn`t necessarily put it down to the MT`s

I've failed to get up the gentlest slope before on wet grass on mud terrains. It's the worst surface.

I got up in the end after sliding back to the bottom and having a 30mph run up.

No need, it's dirty enough as it is.

Yep, wet grass can turn even the most capable vehicle into a floundering lump of metal.

Best described as green ice.
A real test of your throttle control, or have fun "drifting" (if the landowner doesn't mind his grass being churned up).

Seen it all go tits up before when someone drifted a rangie then it dug in after a few yards and rolled over.
