I have them in a 285/75R16 and I love em. The difference coming from mastercraft a/t is night and day. Mpg and power dropped a little but nothing terrible. I have a 2wd, and i can make it through ALOT more than my freind with a z71 350 with a 3" BL and 35" bfg all terrains. My truck really shocked me with the stuff it could go through. I have never seen a 2wd do this good in mud. Treadwear is pretty good i have almost 5k miles on them and havent noticed much wear, maybe just a little. Road noise is medium(more than most MT, but not as bad as say, a mud grappler or swampers). I would deff reccomend them and would probably buy them again if i decide not to get treadwrights

Yeah I've got BFG and love the tread wear but hate how easy they pack. My truck is 2wd as well I just wanna make sure they last. I live my BFG ats and loved the cooper ats but I'm lookin at a good mt for around the same price and there all I found. I just want then to last. Think u could get 40 on umm?

If i rotated more often maybe, but they would probably be bald. (just specualtion, ive hear of ppl getting 60k on a set...) i think atleast 30k. But as far as treadwear they LOOK like they wouldnt last worth a d***, but ALL the reports ive heard about say they last a hell of a long time. If i didnt know this info seeing the tire for the 1st time i would guess that they last about 15k. (they are really high void, more agressive than a toyo my IMO.) its a great tire for me man i think you will love em.

Supposedly they come with a 50,000 warranty but how I believe they will last that is hard to say.
I'm probably gonna end up skipping out on these save for BFG KM2 or cooper stts
