I have been running AT's on both my Z71 Chev PU, and my Z71 Suburban, and consistently get 55-60k miles out of a set. Very smooth, quiet tire, and will most likely replace the Bridgestone Duelers on my Jeep Wrangler with a set this winter. Highly recommend - keep rotated often to get long tread wear.

Like the look but not the performace, I expect better longevity and these tires hve spent most of their life on road. Off road very good but extremely quick wearing, Even with correct alignment and pressure, they wear quickly

First of all most tires labeled as all terrain, aren’t.
Secondly, there were a number of posts stating that they had never been stuck with this tire. The reason you have never been stuck is that you have not exceeded the limits of your vehicle and driving ability. I never got stuck in my bald ATs when my four wheel drive was out because I didn’t put it in a situation that I could get stuck.
Buchshot Mudders and several other MTs out there are what I would call a true all terrain. The vast majority of tires labeled as all terrains simply will not function in gumbo mud any better than a street tire. Any tire that will function in mud seems to have mud in its name. Are they the best off-road? No, but they are good at a lot of things.
I have heard a lot of references to Swampers and I went back to a bias ply Swamper myself but am prepared to pay the price. I don’t mean money either; frankly you can get a set of LTBs very reasonably price wise but there are other prices to pay. I think I am having a mid-life crisis myself so there are things I put up with for riding Swampers. First of all there is the howl. I mean OTR truckers hold their ears when they pass me on the highway. Personally, I love the sound but it is louder than my 351 vented through duel Thrush glass-packs. For the first fifteen minutes of the trip they will shake your dental work loose, (until they warm up.) I can’t drive faster than 70 or they start to feel squirrely. That number goes lower if there are high crosswinds as there often are where I live. My wife will not ride in the truck with me. (This could be good or bad depending on your perception; the dog however loves it….) I got mine used because the guy that bought them new, lifted his truck, had his tires for one day, brought them back and went back to street tires cause they scared him. Swampers will maximize your skills when off road. They can lug their way out of ruts you had no business being in the first place but they are NOT a great street tire if you can’t live with their issues.
In the mud, Buckshots will drive circles around any truck with ATs regardless of how tall those ATs are. They will be a nice drive on the street and handle most terrains you through at them. If you trailer your 4x4 to the trail head every week get something else, but if you drive it daily, these are great tires.
Just my 2 cents….

I have a set of 33/12.5R15 of these on my Frontera and I just can not believe the places it can go now. My job involves a lot of heavy going off road work and with these tyres on nothing but nothing else has the range of my 4x4. A++++++++++++

Put 305/40/22 114S on my 05 Ram SRT10 for the fall/winter/spring here in Victoria BC...very wet with mixed snow sometimes heavy...so far they are handling the wet very well...compared to my summer tires that is...quiet for the most part but does get to a high pitched noise on highways...but nothing to be too concerned about...they are suiting my needs quite well so far and have no complaints...far better than I thought these AT`s would have been...especially on acceleration...for an AT Im impressed and this SRT loves to chew up tires.

I purchased a used F150 FX4 and this tire was on the truck. Tires appear to be almost new. The problem with this tire is hydroplaning, this tire is awful in the rain. I have had BFG AT and MT's, Pro Comp XTerrains, Mickey Thompson ATZ and MTZ's, and Nitto TG and MG and this tire is hands down the worst of all of them on a rainy roadway. Yes, even worse then the MT tires I have had in the past.

I have these on my 72 chevy 4x4 truck. I was able to find them wide enough to fit my wheel (10" wide!) and still 33" inches tall. Only tire I found that was under 38" tall to fit my wheel's width. On top of that i got 4 plus a full size spare for just 850 dollars. I have had them in everything and only got stuck once and it was 100% my fault. These tires rock!
