Buddy has them on a '02 F350 SRW Crew Cab with the 7.3. Love's em, he pulls a load a lot of the time. I think the most you could expect is 40,000 miles out of em. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

I have them on mine, I had to fight with Goodyear when I got them cause 3 of them were out-of round, but they fixed it. I likem.


Word of warning; They are stone chuckers and I have the paint chips to prove it! They even gouge the heck out of the flares and mudflaps.

YG, they do throw thow their share of rocks, my neighbor put BFG at/ko's on his 03 D/A 6mos before I put the MTR's on mine and I have 3 times the chips. However, he gets his stuck in his driveway when it snows and I have yet to get mine stuck anywhere. So that alone makes them worth it IMHO. I figure I'll get 20-25k out of them but, thats fine as long as I can rely on them to get me to work. Beside there isn't anything like cruising down the interstate @70mph listening to the turbo squealing and the tires howling http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
