It is interesting reading all these reveiws. I currently have a set of 255x85x16 on my 97 Dodge 1500. They have 6000 miles on them and look brand new. Now for all the nimcompoops out there that complain of longevity TAKE YOUR DAMN FOOT OFF THE GAS!!! morons!! If you sipe them they are awsome in the snow, ice and wear longer because they run cooler. as far as price i paid 1200 for them and am about to spend 1500 on a set of 285x75x17 for my 08 megacab cummins which i moast pull a 25 ft 4 horse trail. I live in North Idaho and its the tire that all the construction contractors, loggers and farmers use cause they wear like iron getting 40+ thousand out of them. #1 KEEP foot out of Gas #2 frequent rotation (for ANY TIRE!!!) and #3 Hard braking, quick stops, and fast cornering. Oh if you are going to run a lot of gravel dont sipe them. Thanks for letting me talk.

I was with a few guys I had never met a few weeks ago on some trails in Virginia State. One guy got high centered on a rock and he pulled out this red bag thing, used a log to leverage up the rear wheel and the other guy slide this red bag under the wheel. Then they started pumping a few pounds of air into it and drove the Bronco off the rock. I was like, holy crap, what the hell is that thing? So I looked it up and I'm planning to get at least one of them. Very impressive idea. I've seen things like these used as jacks but as a driving pad? Never would have thought. Thumbs up on a great idea!

These tires are amazing for anything you need to go through. Iv had them for about 4 months now and iv put them through hell and back and they just want more. I have a 99 Chevy Full-size (classic) with 39x14.5 Maddogs and these tires just cant get enough. I've been through hella mud, mud covering completely over the tires, completely sunk in mud and water and still have yet to get my truck stuck. Id love to see more of these tires around on the road or in a field. And the rubber I'v heard about these tires and how soft they are and such, is not nearly as bad as I thought. Not nearly as soft as super swampers, SS are like pencil erasers. I roasted these tires on dry pavement many times and they still live. Tires are flawless and the mud they throw is incredible, excellent clean-out tires. I air them down to about 15 psi for playing around in mud and always get out of any pit, ruts, or those little pot holes in the mud that you always hate getting caught up in ha. These tires do run extremely smooth especially with how big mine are, hella bomb! The absolute one thing i have to mention that i love about these tires, is the sound. my 39's make an extremely unique howl on the road. everyone knows the sound of my truck because well...they can hear my tires over any straight piped truck. but the sound is just amazing, it literally does sound like a jet is in take off and i love it. they are a real mans/boy toys tires for any terrain. I haven't used them in winter yet, but I'm sure they will do the job . I highly recommend this tire for daily driving, light off roading, or even just for looks with how unique the tred is. But mainly I'd have recommend them for extreme off road mudding/ditches/rocks or all mixed together in water! love them.

I drive a blue 2007 FJ Cruiser and live near Grand Junction UT, the region around Moab. I do a lot of moderate trails and have 2 Pillowtracks which I've used several times in the past few months, mainly to gain clearance over rocks, once to protect my side panel when I slipped towards a boulder. I use these more than I've ever used my hilift which I considered the best tool next to my winch. Unlike my hilift, I can use the pillowtrack to lift or buffer in places I could not get a jack into. Highly recommended to anyone traveling away from civilization.

I only owned them from half the tread life down to just slicks. I had the 33 13.50 on my 4runner and it was unstoppable. I think I had a Bias version of this tire not the (radial pictured above) as My Baja's had a solid tread pattern that didn't have the split treads in the center of the tire. They also had thicker and larger rim protection beads. Also My sidwalls where so thick I could run over anything in the woods I thought I was driving a log skidder. Anyway These tires were great in the mud. They were unbelivable in the sand. I didn't have to air down for any sand conditions but I did air down once or twice for fun and It was like driving on pavement. I had traction like crazy. I loved these tires. I replaced them with some Pro comps Extreme MT's and I wish now I could have bought the same Mickeys. But Don't see them that size no more. I think they changed the tread pattern too. Or I had a Off road version of this tire instead of the Radials.

I have had these for a year now and I have well over 25,000 on these and still rolling good. I drive 80% back roads with rough tar and gravel. They are a smooth tire even on rough roads and they take a lot of abuse. I once ran one almost completely flat for a couple miles on the highway before I realized it was going down. I had a bolt stuck through the tread and I plugged it and pumped it back up. I thought for sure I had ruined the sidewalls from heat damage as it was almost smoking hot and I couldn't put my hands on it and the sidewalls were worn from contact with the road. But to my surprise the tire was not damaged. I have put over 15K on it since then and looking at it now you can't even tell. I run these on a 01 Tacoma and I mean I run the mess out of them. I drive them everyday on two lane backroads in the country at 55 - 65 mph. I'm not a grocery getter and I drive my truck like its sports car. They hold curves very well for a truck tire and they don't wear out so blame fast like MT's will. I still have at least half the tread life left on them. I have driven them in very heavy rain at high speeds and they don't wash away easily. I have pushed them to 70+ mph before I felt them get squirmy in heavy downpours and standing water but that's to be expected. They are one of the best rated AT tires for wet traction and Hydro-resistance. I did my homework on these tires before I bought them because I can't stand cheap tires. As far as off road goes I have taken them in the sand, rocks and mud and they will impress you no doubt for AT's. I would recommend these over BFG's hands down no questions asked. And I have driven on my share of the BFG's and they are good tires but not worth the price difference. Don't know why someone would rate these as having poor tread life, I think that poster was just an idiot and probably wasn't even talking about this tire. I think they are one of the better tread life AT's as well. In fact, they come with one of the deeper tread depths stock also. So Go do you Homework and You will see that these Destinations will get you there.

Very good tire. I got em in the 26 and go everywhere my buddy does with his 28 laws. I've had em burried and they dig right out. I'd deffinately buy em again. Clean out very good. Wish they made em in a 28 cause i want something bigger now. Great Tire.
. I highly recommend this tire for daily driving, light off roading, or even just for looks with how unique the tred is. But mainly I'd have recommend them for extreme off road mudding/ditches/rocks or all mixed together in water! love them.
