I was just looking these up again to see what anyone was saying about them. I ran some before and here is a post I made about them on another site last year. I'll just copy and paste it.

I had some of those tires on the previous truck I owned, it was a 2000 F250 4x4 extracab with a V10 in it and a 6" lift the tires were....I believe 36x14.5xR16.5 load range E ? I think that's what they were and in my instance they measured out at like 35.5x13.5". Anyway I thought they were pretty good tires and I actually really liked them till I got my toyo mt's on this truck then I became a toyo fan http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/images/smilies/woot.gif . Man I really wish I could remember the exact milage and the wear, but all I have is a rough memory of say 20,000-30,000 miles and maybe a 1/3 tread left ? Sorry :THREAT: . But I really remember not being pi$$ed about the mileage, but not all that impressed either. And as for how they did off road they did great every where I went. They only saw a lil' bit of mud and dirt, but they saw a buncha wheelin' in the snow on mountain trails and loggin' roads A+ there (did better than the toyo's do in the snow). And they went to the sand dunes quite a bit as well and earned another A+ gettin' me up on top of any dune I wanted! Rain yyyyeah I live in Oregon and it rains here sometimes http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/images/smilies/lol3.gif they did fine there as well. I can't say they will handle the weight of your friggin' heavy truck as well as I've seen the toyo's do, but after my first set of toyo's on this truck(aprox. 45,000 miles) I almost put some dirtgrip's on and I think I really woulda cept the price wan't right or they were on backorder something like that. If you can get a good deal on them I would definately say go for it http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/images/smilies/Thumbup19[1].gif

So there it is. I did like the tires and am thinking of them again for a winter tire. Undecided right now, but price is a factor and I might just go cheap.......hope I don't regret it.
