Do a write-up and review for us in about 20,000 miles or 32,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first.

The 32,000 kilometers will always occur first... haha

To the OP. These tires look great. Did you have other tires in consideration?

The set I replaced were BFG all terrains, which I really liked, But I wanted something a little more aggressive. I did have a set of BFG mud terrain km2's on my last jeep a few years back, but I hated them . They were really noisy and couldn't keep them balanced. So this is really just trying something different .
