I'm gonna need new tires soon. How are the Kelly Safaris? I want duratracs but these look to be similar. Looks are at the bottom of my list. Id like to here from people who have run them or had buddies who have run them.

Please and thank you!

Jp magazine did a review of them a couple months back. They cost more than Duratracs though.

Oh jeez, I even have that issue still! Thanks, I'd never have remembered that. I found on tire buyer they're $20 cheaper actually. I'm looking for graduation gift ideas for my parents

I work at a shop so hopefully my boss can get a hold of them for a decent price. As for getting stuck on wet grass I don't drive on my lawn I don't offroad too much but I'll be close to Gilbert when I go to college so I want to be prepared. I just want something "cheap" but effective.

Exactly. Anything can get stuck on wet grass. It sucks. I looked at these but my tire guy couldn't get them cheap enough. I found an F150 forum where some people said they really liked them.

I read JP's review on them. If my boss can get some I think I'll be getting a set.
