I have been using Michelin tires religiously until I started to notice a decline in quality on a few I purchased a year ago. I've tried Bridgestone on two SUVs we have and now I know what I have been missing. Traction in snow and ice here in Chicago has been excellent. Very low road noise on highways. They simply feel like a pair of high quality shoes. I will always purchase Bridgestone for my SUV from hereon. Michelins will continue to be used in my 911.

As posted in "Positive aspects of this product" These tires are Excellent on wet pavement, No Hydroplaning, Very good Off Road in mud,rocks and sand.
The only down side to these tires is the high price.
And (in our personal experience)if you do allot of off road traveling like we do the tread wears faster than I expected and that is claimed by others.
Putting tread wear aside, these tires are excellent and we are on our second in three years and ready to purchase our third set of five in one size larger. (Going to either 32X11.50R15LT or LT265/75R16 from a 245-75-16.

I don't drive much, I got these new back in May 2011 and have about 10,000 miles on them now in Sept 2013. They pull great in deep snow, which I found out in 2011 when my area got hit bad. I had about 2 1/2 ft high snow in the driveway and 18 or more inches in the street over night here in Ohio. I drove right through it all in 4x4 from a dead stand still without one tire spin or slip.
The 5/8 deep tread has hardly shown any wear in 10k of street use and I expect to get close to 50k on them before I need to replace. They do hum at highway speeds but not much and they do get slick if you use a heavy foot on wet asphalt, but don't let this drive you away from these tires.They are a great tire for the price.
I hope to do some off road playing in the future and will update this after that.

For starters, this is my second set of these tires, I previously reviewed them on May 5 2009. I found durability of my first set amazing. 30K miles with bad front suspension, and no tire rotations. The rears were still at 50% tread and got mounted up as spares. The mentioned steering wheel nibble / shake is a common complaint for the 2004 - up Ford F150, and these big tires trigger it for sure. Make sure your balance is no more than 1/4 oz off, and air them up right and it goes away. Off road they work amazing. I spent the last 4 years yanking my buddies trucks on Swampers and BFG MTs out of mud holes I just went through no problem. Just keep on the skinny pedal and point it where you want to go!

Good tire overall. The most noteworthy observation I have of these tires is there overall toughness. I found them to be extremely strong with excellent sidewalls. They survived 2 trips to Moab and were taxed very hard on each trip.
Good in mud and clean well. Lateral stability is very poor, similar to a bogger.
I found that they did wear quite quickly.

I put a set of 4 on my 93 k1500 suburban...these tires are performing amazingly I have owned them for almost 2 years and put about 28k highway miles on them and they are just about halfway to the wear bar ...if I get another 2 years of wear like I have gotten so far I will be ecstatic...I do light offroading...mostly dirt and gravel roads heading out to the ranch and beach driving...the tires grip really well in wet weather and light mud...they also perform pretty well on the beach even without airing down from highway pressure...I usually run between 37-40 psi...I always forget to rotate my tires... I would assume if you rotate them regularly you will get even better tread life than I have gotten...I am definitely considering buying another set when the time comes... for $50 more maybe the trail diggers if the tread life is remotely close to these guys if I rotate them properly

I have had great luck with these tires. I used the Fun Country's purchased in '98, and they lasted until 2008. I run them on my 77 Chevy Stepside, (I purchased new in 77 and have always run large tires on it) and I do a lot of street driving, and some off road and some snow driving. Ran them till no tread left with no problems. They look great, get a lot of comments on my truck/tires, seem to last. Went to purchase a second set in 08 and found them only available in Fun Country II. Have run the FC II's since 2008. Had one rear tire just bust open. Can't replace it, yet, they are no longer available.
Does anyone know how I can get my hands on 1 or more? I'm interested in new or used. I am a senior now and can't afford a whole new set, and I want to continue with my 3 good tires with practically full treads left. I haven't driven it all that much in the last 5 years. I will consider more if anyone has some... Anyone? - or do you know of anyone?,
They are 36 x 15.50-15. Thank you, appreciate it, I really like these tires.
Here is my cell phone number, please leave a message 661-619-2255

Tony and his family run a very nice family oriented park. the park is not large and could use more trails. for both single track as well as ATV. It is a little rocky in some areas and on our trip over the 4th of July we took both ATV, UTV, And duel sport motorcycle, beware our commander broke the steering going over the rocks too fast. luckily they are located at a dealership that carries Can Am,
if you do not have a ATV he does tours and rentals. they have an 840 foot long tunnel that is very cool, it was a pleasure talking to him and we will definitely be back in the future ride again. I think it is a place that everybody should at least check out
