I've only had it since last December. From what I've been told it's a very rare color, they only did it for two years. I'd love to find a wrangler in the same color.

I have these tires on my XJ right now (30 x 9.5 R15). They are awesome so far. I have not done any major off road with them but I do live on a dirt and gravel road and have not had any problems yet. They are very quiet on the highway. The treadwear is great I can see getting 50,000 Miles out of these. I have put about 4-5K on them so far and no real sign of wear yet. The only thing I have noticed is that the tread tend to hold onto small rocks pretty well. Driving in the rain is great with these as well too. I have not been able to break them loose yet, and they don't seem to hydroplane as easy as other tires in heavy rain. I can't wait to try them this winter and give the last of the 3W's a test in some deep NJ snow.

I Just got them installed on my Dodge Ram 1500 a few months ago...
Likes are the side wall protection, and they are tough...seem to be wearing ok, They were ok in the snow as well.
Dislikes I wouldn't put them on a trail rig, will get stuck in wet grass in 2wd.
I got a pretty good deal on them thru wall mart, but their tire department could not get the tires mounted on the 20" rims on my ram... They didn't have enough air pressure to expand the side wall to seat the bead, pathetic...

Good to hear you both are liking them. Unless my situation changes I'll need tires and rims within the next 6 weeks or so. I really like my General Grabber AT2's but they've gone up a bit in price and although your only talking $70 or so over the Falkens that's close to two new rims I'll likely need. I need a money tree.
