have a 2007 Dodge 1500 crew cab 4x4. Now on my second set of Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's. The first set installed at 40K because needed a little more aggressive tread pattern. They lasted 15K becuase of very abnormal wear. These tires were rotated and balanced every 3000 miles when the oil was changed so can't blame the wear on tire care. The dealer did replace these at a prorated cost. I had new shocks installed again (Rancho RS9000's and upgrade from the RS 5000's installed the week before the tires were installed) and the vehicle aligned. Also had the suspension shaken down by the Firestone dealer as well as the Dodge dealer and found nothing.
Now I have 17K on the second set of tires and they are cupped and have abnormal wear to the point that they need to be replaced! These tires stink!!

I could not find Any reviews of this tire that bore the same tread design, but I liked the pattern and wanted to stay factory OEM brand but more aggressive pattern. The soft wall is for flex at lower pressure, which is hard for some to understand but driving off road or on road over curbs and such it handled very well. Taken action on soft lawns (wife at brother in-laws) left ruts but she only used posi rear not four wheel which being watched impressed others that watched. She is not an off roader but felt good about the success of moving through without getting stuck. Took 6in of snow as nothing on red clay mud. The only time that I can think of having a problem was when I put the front end of the Durango in the lake with the fan slapping water and the test in reverse w/o four dug the tires in quick in the peet gravel sand mix, ended up going forward and doing a quick reverse in four wheel bouncing out the rut from the rear wheels. I should have had recorded and posted vids because most of what I see having these tires are no form of justice. Love 'em for the price and over all performance, it was a surprise that left me and wife with smiles.

Thank you to all you loyal posters. I was very picky when it came to buying my next set of tires. After careful review on this site I decided on the Cooper Discoverer STT's.
(I bought these tires 3 days ago)
I have a 95 Toyota 4Runner that has a couple inch suspension lift so that it clears the 33*12.50's and also has a Lock-Right rear Locker among other mods.
The drive to town takes about 18 minutes on the highway and these tires dont make much noise at all when new. We will see how they sound once they are broken in.
I am yet to try them in mud/sand/rock but the day I bought them I hit the trails up here in Norcal and tried them out in snow/ice. They did well. My 4Runner is converted to manual locking hubs and I did stop before we hit the snow and locked the hubs just to be safe. (I did not engage 4wd though) The snow these tires hit was VERY hard packed snow and lots of ice. About 2 1/2 feet of snow that we were walking on without sinking through.
I was very impressed with these tires and I would give them 7 for snow on a 1-10 scale and definitely a 10 out of 10 on trail terrain.
I will post feedback on my next review which will be testing these tires in mud.

I live in Canada, with lots of snow and mud. I have a deck on a F350 Ford (1 ton), using LT265/70R17E tires. I carry quads or snowmobiles to get near I want to go. With the weight and 80% highway driving, is this tire a recommend choice. Thanks for your help.

I sold tires in Colorado for 5 years. I have owned 3 sets of these now on 3/4 ton XTC GMC trucks. I have them siped before installation at Discount Tire (they only sipe the middle tread not the edges). This makes these Mudders bulletproof! The added cost is worth it come winter/ice time. The tires are quiet for my daily drive as well. Road noise is not irritating at all! I am a musician and I do not turn my tunes up loud. Love to drive with the windows down. Colorado drivers might dump the BFG A/T love fest and get a set of these. Tire wear is good. Mudders have soft compound but these still do well on wear and the siping helps in this category also. I haven't had cupping problems with these and although that is a mechanical issue (Fords;-), some tires are more susceptible to cupping by design. These are not! I recommend these highly but you'll have to save your nickels cause cost is a considerable investment.

Overall, an excellent product. I've run the rear Trail Series bumper with the swing out tire carrier for a year now and it's seen its share of trails, rocks, mud and more. Very well built and great design features. I've actually done a complete review with detailed install instructions and photos. If anyone is interested, you can find more details at:
54,000 miles on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. This tire has performed exceptionally well in snow, mud and street. I plowed through numerous snow covered mountain passes with these tires and they held tough when others were forced to put on chains or turn around. I've pulled full size trucks stuck axle deep in the mud and never got stuck anywhere I went with these tires. I absolutely recommend these tires as they perform well and have a good tread life. Although they aren't as pretty as my last set of Baja Claw's, they perform just as well for nearly half the cost.

Running these on my 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Have had them on for 18 months now. Great snow traction and off road performance while being mild on the roadway; no loud humming or spongy feel. I siped the center lugs myself which really helped the ice traction issue here in the Colorado Mountains! These tires have worn like iron while providing a nice responsive ride. Being a 10 ply tire, they area heavy compared to my other AT tires. Other than the weight....no complaints here.
