I purchased the 285/75/16s in the Guard Dogs They've been on the truck real close to 2 years now and about 13,xxx miles and we love em. No problems at all and stilll probably 70+% tread life left, i'll bet my bro could get 40-50k outta of em easy. I was nervous buying retreads at first, but seriously these are well made quality tires, i say their not just good for a retread, but just as good (and prolly better than some) brand new name brand tires. I mean My carcasses were only 2 years old when i recieved em, wich was pretty awesome. Plus they dig, if you like playin in the mud you'll love em, our guard dogs have gotten us out of some pretty gnarly situations. the only people who talk bad about em dont have em or any expierance with em and say thier crap or "dangerous" cuz they have to have an opinion on everything, but everybody who has em loves em. The only downside to the Guard Dogs anyway is that their not so great on ice (but no mud terrain is) if you live where it can get icy you should opt for the kedge grip cuz i hear it kicks @$$ on ice. I'm looking for a wrangler to turn into a mudder and first thing im doing is buyin a pair of treadwrights for it.
good to know man.

Why didn't you have them mounted on the MT/R carcass? People are going to know you are running treadwrights now since they can see the tread clearly isn't the tread of a BFG AT..
