So and So. I had them a couple times on the TJ. Performance wise they are great. They excel in mud/snow/rain and drive softly on the street. They don't show any of the common swamper characteristics, such as hopping and flat spotting BUT these tires are a well known hit and miss. There are bad ones and good ones and your luck plays a role on which ones you get. Out of the four sets i had altogether, two of those sets had out of round tires and i had to replace them. The first set i bought for the cherokee were terrible and i mean TERRIBLE. I couldn't go above 40 mph without the steering wheel shaking back and forth cuz these tires were so out of round. 4wd hardware replaced them at no cost and this set seems to be a good one, thank god. If you do purchase these, pls opt for a warranty package. You never know.

They are siped all over, probably the sipe-iest mud tire out there so they are very sticky on the road. 20-23 psi seems to be the right pressure range for these since they are wearing down perfectly.

Oh i forgot, the tank-like vibrations at low speeds is sweeeet.

There 32x12.50r15 Kumho KL71
These things have been awesome. Balance easy, great in the snow, mud and rocks. There are 4 of us now in my local club running them.
