I've had these in 31-10.50 on a jeep TJ for 1 year, 12000 miles(2000 of that was off-road). They replaced a set of MT CLAWS that I loved. Was gonna get claws again, but got a great deal on these.
On the road, these tires are excellent for what they are. Low noise for a mudder, but not quiet. No hydroplaning and handle great w/no roadwalk. They balance well,are wearing great and still look like new (with proper rotation schedule).
On snow, they are great. I can go anywhere I need to go in the TN mountains with no worries.
On ice, they really surprised me. Right now the roads are a SOLID SHEET OF 3" OF ICE, and I just drove 35 miles round trip in 2wd on curvy,hilly roads. I can put jeep in 4hi and really take the fun out of the bad roads. Best road mudder I've ever owned.(during snow,ice,I air down to 18psi)
Off road,they are just OK, compared to the CLAW,they are junk.(Claws are the best I've ever seen in a lifetime of wheeling). I hunt ALOT in rough remote muddy rocky steep mts, and these tires will get the job done, but not like the claws do. They don't clean like they should untill you make them spin.Which I HATE SPINNING and tearing up roads and soggy fields. I don't have the controll that I was used to with the claws in nasty situations. I haven't been stuck because of these tires, but...I HAVE had to turn around and go out a different route cause these tires weren't able to get it done.(where the claws could) I HAVE made a mess of a few trails that I used to traverse with ease and would never slip a wheel.(which is my goal I don't like doing damage to a hunting property that a landowner has so graciously allowed me to be on.) I've never done any damage to these tires as mentioned in other reviews, but I have a light foot on the trail.
Also,off road, these are a lot "stiffer" sidewalled than the MT's, so they BEAT THE LIVIN CRAP OUTTA ME. Even when aired down they are not as forgiving as I'd like on the short jeep.(not an issue on a truck)
Overall, I like these tires on the road better than any other MT I've ever owned or seen.But they are not the "best" off road...however for a daily driver rig,where serious wheeling isn't the main focus they are perfect.The shortcomings they have in the woods are offset by how great they are on the Hwy. Sorry so long and specific, but hope this helps someone in spending their hard earned money.
I'm gonna buy another set of wheels and claws for deer season, and run these the rest of the year.

I ran these in a 255/85R16 on my 2005 Xterra. They handled highway, snow, ice, mud, dirt, rocks, etc. very well. Did fine at speed and towing a trailer. Unfortunately they wore out in less than 25k miles. Not unreasonable given the price and the fact that they are a mud terrain, but I still would have liked better.

Had these mounted on a set of 17inch hummer wheels underneath my 2004 Silverado 2500 4X4, great tire. Did well in rain, snow, ice, mud, sand... great bite. LONG tread life. I had 40K on them when I sold the truck - took the tires and put 'em on the new dodge I bought and got another 30K out of 'em before I replaced them with ANOTHER SET - LOVE this tire! NEVER let me down, never ran out of balance and looked great under the truck!
Well I recommend? Heck, I just bought my third set for my new 09 Silverado, I'll never own another A/T tire!

Most under-rated tire out there! Well worth every cent. People under-rate these because they dont know what to do to with them (psi) wise. The reason i do not give it a 10 is because the way they ride in snow.
I see a few people that claim the on road handling of these tires is below par. all i have to say about that is learn to drive? i would imagine that the people with these complaints are teens, or people who have yuppie trucks, with no intention of taking them off road. This is my 5th set and i drive them 50 miles round trip to and from work daily, and hardcore wheelin on the weekends, Sure they are loud on the road, but i have no problem with the handling or anything else. Even on my jeep they are as just as good as they handle on my dodge. but if you are a yuppie with theses tires on your "cool" h2 these tires should be a problem. They are made for REAL wheelin, Not urban soccer game wheelin in the parking lot.. Look at the "real" wheelers, loot at how often this tire is used.. Kids shouldnt have an opinion on a tire.
