Looks good! Gave your truck a nice aggressive look. It's nice to see someone take the time to fully detail what they experienced with the tires. Thanks for that. Good job finding them at such a good price.

Damn, those look great on there. You almost could have pulled off the red letters out, but it sure looks good as is.

Any updates on performance in mud? I am considering these tires very seriously, just wondering. Thanks

Since the last time I reviewed these tires I have put about 12,000 miles on them and their hardly worn.
I have been through 2 big snow storms with them and these tires clawed my truck out of 2 feet of snow without hesitation. On the slushy and snowy roads full of packed, loose, or powder, these tire triumphed! I have yet to get stuck.
Climbing up steep, snowy and icy roads is about as easy as it gets (in 4wd).
I've had these tires on a couple muddy and mucky job sites and they just ripped through everything.... In 2wd!....In 4wd they are unstoppable! Deep ruts, mud holes full of water, and steep muddy hills are traversed with ease.
On the highway daily the grabbers don't seem to be wearing much at all. I've mostly put highway miles on them at speeds exceeding up to 90mph. They still look like the day I got them.
Nails don't seem to stick into them on job sites, and if you do see one, you may get lucky like me and it won't go in very far at all.. Rocks also do t get caught in the tread like they used to with my BFG AT's.
These tires are probably the best all around tires I've ever owned. They won't do you any favors in the gas milage dept., but I'd be willing to bet they get better MPG's then any other pure mud tire out there... I'm getting almost 16.5 MPG's highway (hand calc) and 12 city. Not bad at all considering they are ready to tackle any terrain including the highway. I will be buying another set of these tires when these ones wear out for sure. They are very pricey, hard to find (in a 35x12.5 r20, locally), but I don't care... These are the best damn tires I've ever had, and they look slicker then grease on my truck to boot.. I get compliments all the time and people wondering what tire it is and where I got it...
I highly recommend this tire as a well wearing, mud/at tire with great handling and highway manners.

0.9% is for suckers!
I had the true 35s on my Raptor. I think they were 76-78lbs? I ran method 18s and 35/12.50/18 Grabbers. I put em on over a year ago, back when they were really, really hard to get. Most at that time weren't DOT and guys were putting em on anyway. Not sure why you would have em black wall out, I think the appeal outside of the tread is the red letter, lol.
Although they are the coolest looking tire, I can't say they were my favorite tire. I think they are more sand/dirt than road/highway, personally I think the weight and rigid sidewall outweighed the performance. I ran em about 8,000 miles or so. It was like a new truck when I swapped back my original BFGs. Glad they are working for ya!
