Default dunlop mud rovers? what you guys think

So i found 33x12.50x15 dunlop mud rovers for 170 a piece mounted pretty cheap for mud tires. The guys told me they were good tires but just wanted to see what you guys thought of them?

I was considering 33 or 35 inch Dunlop Mud Rovers or General Grabbers or Summit Mud Dawgs just because they all run about 30-50 dollars cheaper, per tire, than the "so called" name brand tires that they look just like.

for $200 flat you can get 33*10.50*15 toyo m/t great tires have great reviews and sometime you can find free shipping if not try to work it into the deal just a thought, you'll think i'm nuts on this but check ebay for tires right after i bought my toyos, i found BFG KM2's on ebay in a 33*10.50 for $165 each shipped

All I can say is buy em and try em. If you don't like how they perform you can always pull them off and resell them. As long as you don't tear them up you should be able to get most of your money back.

They are decent tires. I had them in a 235/75R15, then went to Trxus M/T 33x12.5R15, then those wore out and picked up a set of Dunlop Mud Rovers with rims in 33x12.5R15. They are decent tires.

I normally read reviews on tires online. Not that that helped for ya but thats what I do. Otherwise if its a deal and you like them try them out. I'm sure theres a negative and positive for every tire.
