Hello all, I'm starting this thread because I could not find a review of these tires online anywhere. So anyway I bought these last night from 4wd.
I'm looking for a agressive tire with decent street manners for my DD/WW that can do everything, street, newengland trails, snow and maybe some beach sand. The set of 4 33/12.50R15 where 753 and change shipped and I can send in for a $100 rebate. I figured i would give them a shot.

i am interested in this newfangled "high strength" 2 ply sidewall thing they got goin.
if these turn out to be good for you i will get a set. they are one of the few tires i found in 33x10.50-15.
my km2's are just falling off at an alarming rate, i thought i wasn't going to be doing as much highway.
but please keep me/us/this thread updated. i am very interested. i was gonna wait until there were a few reviews and my tires were completely toasted, but if you give a 5 star review i might switch early.

saw those last night, to be honest the guy doesn't seem that bright and the reviews are for a E range tire on a 1/2 ton truck. I hoping to have a better experience with a C range tire on a jeep.

"you see, they grip better because they are taller, not because they are a better tire" - youtube guy 2015
i lost it right there. i cant watch the rest of that review.
probably open diffs on that truck just spinning, and if he's trying to prove something any tire would look like that. im not convinced from his review.
hopefully they are stronger and perform offroad better than duratracs. i was on an fairly moderate trip with a guy who had duratracs on a liberty. he lost 2 tires on that trip. ripped sidewalls.

the half a dozen times he brings up his front end wobble and blames the tires but he also says he might have worn steering/ suspension components that and the drive tire is chunked but the fronts remained smooth? I couldn't watch the whole thing either thats why I ruled it out.

Tires came in today. It was dark when I got home so I had to bring them in for closer inspection.
The tread pattern is sick and the voids are huge. Much more nobbly than I expected with less siping. It is a proper mud tire.
for comparison sake here it is next to a less than half spent 35" MTZ
Side walls did feel a bit thin for how chunky the tread is, but the proof will be in the pudding weather or not i open one up. The side biters are no where close to a toyo, but are definately there (they would put a dura-trac to shame) and are inconsistant with different size lugs and raise letters. The bead is clean and of a normal thickness, wish it had some sort of rim guard but dura-tracs have them and we have all heard the sidewall stories.
Please let me know what other pictures you would like to see unmounted before I mount them up.
I will be mounting them on my black rocks with 4" backspacing 8" wide, probably by hand at home and using tire beads to balance them up.

i wonder how they will do on the highway also compared to other mud tires.
they look like a tire exactly in between a at and a mt. perfect.
put em on and find a mud hole that's a 50 highway mile drive away. lol.
i like the sidewall actually. i am seeing some resemblance to the master craft mxt's i have on my ford truck. the sidewall has an mc molded in and looks very similar

I run mud countries and I've been impressed overall with the tire on and off road. I was iffy on a Dick Cepek Tire because I knew they were heavy and I heard they wear fast , but they actually are lasting really well. They are pricey also but I got a blemished set from my local off road shop for cheap and I'm happy with them so I wouldn't hesitate to try these.

I would disregard that guys video he didn't really know what he was talking about. they look like decent tires and I'm sure dc wouldn't make a bad tire. A guy in my apartment complex has them on his new f150 and he loves them. Tows his boat and goes Offroading once in a while and he says they do great.
