I have not heard a single bad remark on them. everyone praises them! i personally think they are ugly but i have only seen them white wall out on mall crawler rims sittung under wronglers....

But again, have yet to hear a bad review

They've got a nice aggressive tread. I've always had a soft spot for the Wrangle MT series. I've been running a set on my Ford for three years now. If you take corners slowly and don't peel out, they last a good long while.

they're real popular here in the PNW because of the kevlar sidewalls
They don't clear mud very well, but are great in sand, rocks, and on dry trails.
Sidewalls are tuff as nails.
Debating the 33x10.5 bfg km2's or the 33x12.5 mtr's for my next purchase.

See not to disagree with tanner89 but all of the reviews that i have heard have been that they are excellent in mud. they clean really well and because of the thread pattern they are good on the wet stuff too.

The guys at GY told me to run Duratrac's if I was going to leave them on all year. They work better in the white stuff and are cheaper.

I have them on my work truck and love them. They work well in the mud, at least for me and great on snow and ice. Only downfall is they wear fast. We usually get 20000-30000 km from a set, but we keep buying them
