I cant really rate these tires due to the fact that I just ordered them today, but man o man do they look awesome so I gave them a 10! I run 44" super swampers tsl on my 85 silverado and love how they hook up. I'm not use to a small mud tire (265x70r17) but odered a set for my 2006 silverado. I coon hunt a lot here in West Virginia where the ridges get really tacky with red clay and mud when they freeze and thaw out, so I'm hoping these tires get me where I wanna go. I'm sure from the looks of these tires they will but I hope they dont wear out really quick because I use it as a daily driver. I'm not use to running a mud tire on a daily driver, but we'll see what happens.

I'm currently running a set of Firestone Destination M/T (285/65/18 E-rated) on a 2007 Tundra crewmax 4x4 and don't think I could be happier with these tires. I purchased these tires in Texas from Firestone about 18 months ago. The main reason I chose these tires was due to the price, buy 3 get 1 free got me in the door. I will acknowledge that they do hummm at hwy speeds since they are a M/T tire. The noise these tires generate don't bother me and it maybe more pronounced on another vehicle since I feel my truck is very well insulated from road/wind noise (read almost Lexus quite with standard tires).
But this is the breakdown of my experience with these tires so far:
1. I am currently at 51,800 miles, at least 2,000 miles on gravel roads, on these tires and have about 2,000-3,000 miles of safe tread depth left.
2. I drive with a heavy foot, enjoy 381 hp and 401 tq, and curvy mountain roads.
3. I have towed 4000 lbs at hwy speeds about 15,000 miles with these tires.
4. I have driven with a 2000 lb camper in the bed about 12,500 miles paved and 1,000 miles gravel.
4. Tires have seen temps ranging from -45F - 110+ with no issues. I currently live in Fairbanks, AK and the tires did well last winter in the sub-zero climate. I had no issues with flat spots due to the cold weather or the rubber sticking to the ice after being parked outside after a long drive.
5. No chunking or chipping of the rubber.
6. No slices or gouges in the 3-ply side walls or punctures in the main tread area.
7. Tires have performed great in all terrains (dry, wet, mud, sand, and gravel) except rock climbing. Did I mention that I drive a big fat pig of a truck that would not do well rock climbing no matter what the tires were.
8. Tires balanced well and have been rotated only 4 times.
9. Acceptable snow/ice performance for my truck. My truck does have traction control, vehicle skid control, and ABS that will adjust to each wheel individually. So you may have a different experience on these road conditions. Siping the tires would give these tires great traction in light snow.
10. I would recommend these tires to others due to my experience with them.
Overall I am very happy to have gotten the mileage out of these tires even with all the towing and gravel roads. I will be replacing them with the exact same tires this fall. I only wish I could replace them for them for the price I paid for them in Texas, about 33% less than my quotes here in Alaska.

They have been on my pickup for 2 weeks. They are quiet and provide a nice ride. I have now had two flats, one was a machine screw (non pointed)and the other was a rock that punctured the rear tire (ruined) with no load in the truck. Could be bad luck, but I think not.

I have a set of 33x10.5x15 on my 4runner right now. I was able to get them through Les Schwab and do payments on the. They are great tires. I drive my 4runner daily on the road and live by the Rubicon so I do that on the weekend. I was having a hard time on finding a 37 for my 4runner because I'm doing an SAS swap on my 4runner but toyo make the Open country in a 37x13.5x15 so I will be going with them again. They are also very quiet. I don't ever really hear them while I'm drive, they also don't wear down fast on pavement.
