Nuts!! I forgot to write it down.
What tire did several people think was equal to or better than a
Michelin XLT for wet grass traction?

Most M&S tread designs will provide better traction than a rib tread design. M&S on front, rib on rear.
Just what I do.

At the last Western Stater rally, those with the Limited Slip
Differential did well.

G'day,
I have tried Michelin, B.F.Goodrich and Khumo, they all had a problem with wet grass.
It can look a bit embarrassing when you are on open level ground with no traction. If "tapping" the brake didn't work we have had to get the towed on the A- frame to give us a push to get us moving again.
