I love em. There are 4 of us running them now in my local club, had them in the rocks,sand,snow and mud. Been awesome, the only drawback they are directional. In reverse need to get the RPM's up to get them cleaned out.
And since I'm a picture *****.

I had some of those on my 04 dodge 2500(35/12.5/17) and they sucked. Now that is a heavier application, but I tore them up so fast it wasn't even funny.
just my two cents.

Just curious, do you mean street drive to the trail, or DD? I want these tires, but I couldn't see spending the cash for a DD that will burn them (or any M/T) up quick. I don't even have far to drive and I'd burn them up in 6 mo. I figure thats what they made all terains for.

As far as I've been able to figure, they're a great tire for a good price, last I looked. They impressed me from the first time I saw them. They were about a hundred bucks a tire cheaper through the magazines or online than at the tire shop (and a cheap shop at that too!).

If I buy 'new' I'll go with these tires or TreadWright Guard Dogs, which ever I have money and rims for at the time.

Dude these tires rock, I have them and getting another pair when these wear out. Right now mine have about 10k on them and have had them for a year. They are only starting to show wear. on the street they are great, they have better wet road traction than my street tires do on dry pavement. I was never able to get them to let go on any road condition. My 31's clean out pretty good. In reverse not so great, ive found that for the most part, they just dig holes in reverse. but that isnt to say that in reverse they dont clean out, they do pretty well. And yes being directional they are louder on the road, but to be honest on a jeep it isnt any louder than the engine. I would buy them over 1000 times. If they can pull me through 3 foot deep clay mud pit and get it that dirty, yeah they are good
