Anyone out there running them? I'm trying to decide between the BFG AT ko's which I've had before on my old jeep and they were awesome or the Interco Truxus's which I've heard very good things about. Anyway, if anyone has used them let me know about how they wear and work in the ice, snow, and wet.

My friend bought a set of Interco Truxus for his 03 Ford, and after about 8,000 miles made the dealer buy them back. Wore poorly. got real noisy as the tread wore off, and worst of all, couldn't keep balanced. Dealer admitted he had taken several sets back from good customers, and stopped carrying them. Great looking HD casing though.

Our local dealer recommended against them, to me, also. They had separation problems. I had two sets of Maxxis Buckshot Mudders and got over 40,000 miles out of them. I would go back to them based on their wear and performance in the mud.

If you're looking for something that works on ice-snow-wet, that's what I drive on also during winter. I live in the Utah mountains and ski about every day. After many sets of tires, the best winter tire - period - that I've found is the Bridgestone Winter Dueler. It's the truck version of a Blizzak, and they work fantastic in conditions that would have an A/T tire sliding. On the old truck with an open rear axle, I can get up the driveway - with a foot of snow - in 2WD where it would take 4WD using the other tires. But they're for winter use....I doubt they'd last more than 20-25K miles of dry-weather driving.

Hmm, looks like I'll be getting the AT's then. Mt. hunter I thought about a set of winter tires such as the bridgestones or a set of Nokians but I don't think I drive in enough snow/ice to need them. Although I am up in the mountains every weekend during the ski season. We'll see how the BFG's work out on the truck.

I run 39.5/15 truxus bias ply's on my truck. They are a bit noisier than expected but nothing like the baja claws I used to run. I haven't had a chance to try them out in snow, but they work great in the sand, good floatation and they don't dig excessive like mudders in the sand so I think they would work well in snow. I get about 20,000 miles out of them which isn't great but they are alot cheaper as far as big tires go, and I tow almost every weekend, spin em every once in a while and daily drive on them. You can't go wrong with BFG but I wouldn't be afraid to try them, they work great for me and might work equally as well for you!

I've got a set on my 1995 K1500 and I really like them. They are quiet pull really well in the mud. If I were you I'd probably put the KO's on my truck, esp if it is a daily driver. My 1995 is not....

I have 10 ply 33.12.5x17 Trxus MT's on H2 rims. They are good truck pulling tires and they are good on the street if you keep them balanced constantly. They're quiet for a mud tire, good traction, good wear but they suck towing a trailer. I've had 3 of them either break a belt or seperate and get air between the plies making a hump on the tread while towing. If you're going to tow pass on the TrXus MT's.

Well it sounds like for what I'm gonna use the tires for the Truxus's
will be more of a pain than they are worth.
