I had a couple buddies with them and 1 is still running them. The life seems to be really good even on Dodge ram 2500 and they are a smooth tire.

They last a good long time but if you go off road much at all I wouldn't get them.

I have heard nothing except good things about them. They were originally my first choice for my truck until I saw a set of the Pro Comp Xtreme AT's on a guy's truck and I went that way instead.

You talking from experience or what?



I have them on my truck and absolutly love them. They are quite on the highway, perform excellent in wet weather, and do awsome in the mud. I have been off road many times in them and have not had any problems, they clean themselves out pretty good too. Now they are not a mud tire, but they still perform awsome. I would recommend them to anyone.

With the exception of Squirt it seems that everyone who has them says they cake up once you look at mud and won't clean out well at all either.

No need, thats what forums and reviews are for. I wouldn't own them.

My buddy had them on his dodge. They preformed like an A/T in the mud. They did not clean out in the clay very well compared to my mickey tompson dick cepez 2. But for an A/T they were good all around. But hes right there no MUD tire. But they do decent.

thanks guys....well i would be doing 90% or better on road driving...so for the lil bit that i would go off road these tires seem like they would be best for me...i was reading a review a guy has 30k on his tires and there at 50% tread left...so 60k seems like a good deal to me to get from a tire...does this sound factual?
