They are made by Cavelier, spelling might not be right but close. I believe Maverick has the same tires on his truck.

Good call White ....

The Sport King A/T was engineered for both on and off-road performance. This all-weather radial can handle even the most aggressive terrain. It provides great steering response, resists hydroplaning and wears evenly in any wheel position. Full-skid depth tread increases traction while a tough polyester cord body and twin steel belts provide a smooth comfortable ride and long, even wear. All sizes available in Raised White Letters for a sporty appearance.

I had a set of Sport King tires 31x10.5x16.5, I think (sold that truck 5 years ago). They were good tires.

They have a sister tire, called the Mud King XT, I had a set of these on my truck, sold them and got different mud tires. They are good tires and seem to wear pretty well. I had road force problems with my mud kings so I got rid of them, that can happen with any tire though. They also have a pretty decent price, around $500 or so mounted I think.

I ran em on my first rig, the mud kings i mean, they were definetly cheap, i put them on so i could keep my BFG A/T when i sold the truck, they rode pretty well, but i dont know how long they lasted.

Sport Kings are a good tire. Those are what I currently have on my 95 6.5L GMC. Quiet a few of my friends & my brother as well run Sport King Tires on their trucks and our hunting jeep has Buck Shot Mudders on it. They do tend to wear a little faster with everyday road use but they do last. Must be a southern tire, because they are a pretty common tire around here. I plan on when my factory on/off road tires wear out I will probably put a set of Sport Kings on my new 04..... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

My buddy has a set on his 96 Bronco, he loves them has over 70k and is just now thinking about replacing them.

Hey good deal. Nice to see the consensus(sp) is good on these tires. Like i siad dealer put these tires on it before it went on the resale lot, i dont think theyve got 1500-2000 miles on them, still some nobbies left.... They sure do seem to have some good grip to them, i wouldnt hestiate tryin to go through some mud w/em....
70k out of a set of tires...WOW thatd be sweet....hehehehe
Thanks for all the info guys, appreciate it.-Adam

Hey, did any of you guys have any trouble w/steering wheel vibration running these tires??? I got a slight vibe in my wheel from 45 or so on up....dealer rebalanced tires a week ago, but didnt seem to make much difference....The tires are size 285 as well...Thanks-Adam

Your probably gonna have to get them balanced on a road force balancer.
