very well, the last pic showed was from yesterday. 10kish miles on them and more than a half a dozen big wheeling trips. They are loud, but the grip is well worth it.

Awesome. Thanks.

Have you had them in any snow? Deep snow, hardpack snow, ice conditions etc?

Yes. They are much better than the Baja Claws they replaced. Deep snow and snow pack performance is very good with plenty of bite. I rarely use 4wd in the snow. I haven't been out in an ice storm nor do I want to. Nothing is good on ice except maybe chains.

^ What he said.

Sorry "dude", hope I'm not stepping on your toes here.

I just got mine in and thought I'd throw up a picture of a 33x10.50-15 on a 8" wheel. They're a little wider than I expected. I've only ever seen KM2's in 33x10.50 in person and the BFG's are slightly skinnier than these Dick Cepeks, if memory serves.

They have plenty of meat for a non-interco mud tire, and they're plenty grippy. They picked up every leaf, twig and pebble in my driveway just rolling them into the garage.

It makes me happy when I see other guys still rock the white tire lettering out instead of hiding it on the inside....

Awesome. Please post updates in here on you no so skinnys. I have a friend that is trying to keep weight down and is interested in in the 10.5's for his 7" wide alloys. Put up some picks when you have them on the jeep
