Good tires. I live in Wyoming, have them on my 1/2 ton GMC that I use for hunting, fishing, backpacking, and occasionally just for getting around when the roads are snowy or icy (which is October through May). These tires handle moderate off-road use well - snow (up to 18" without chains), packed snow, shallow mud, gravel, small rocks, trails. They drive well on snowy roads (powder or packed snow) and handle wet pavement decently enough. They do not do well in deep mud or really deep snow (clog and spin), and they WILL throw gravel. An excellent tire for all around use if you don't want to keep changing out. Not the tire for serious off-road adventures in mud, serious snow bogging (been stuck a time or two in 2-3' drifts) or rock-hopping.
I've found tread wear is only average - I've got 25k on mine and it's time to start looking again before winter comes back! Traction drops off precipitously when the tread is < 50%

I put the tires on and rode for a mile on hard pack trail and they dart around a bit. I had to run down pavement for a quarter mile and they shook violently. Put machine on jack stands and the tires are out of round. I ordered balancing beads today. They are supposed to go to the heavy side of the tire when in motion and correct the problem. $70.00 delivered. I'll post the results.

I have 31x10.50's on an 01 Tacoma and i had never got over 12,000 miles on a set of tires before. Currently i have right over 29,000 on my baja claws and should get another 2 months or more out of them. i should get close to 33,000 out of this set. I have one tire that wore because of a missed rotation. These tires are not too loud and go unbelievably on/in mud, snow, ice, pavement.... the only problem i have had is when it is raining, it will not take turns well. Its the only time i have found these tires to slip. BUT, the will not hydroplane till over 3/4 wear.

I bought DC 285/70R/17 FCII a little over a year ago. These tires have seen lots of action! Dirt, snow, mud, gravel, slush, wet grass, sand and pavement. They do wear a little funny but this I found could be kept under control with regular rotation. All in all ... great tire other than the fact that for the price I payed for them, there should be some kind of WARRANTY???

I have these on my Ram 2500 V10. My truck is a farm truck and only gets about 5k miles per year. Had to warranty replace the tires twice within 5 years. Will never buy again, Michelin (owns goodrich) are much better but more expensive.
Also DO NOT GO ON SNOW,ICE,OR MUD! I have 0 traction in these conditions, I thought it was my v10 maybe had too much TQ but everyone is having the same problems. What good are they if they dont last and cant go offroad?
TA KO's = FAILURE

Had a 97 dodge 1500 4x4 with a 318 with some extras. Had 35 12.5 17 tires. Did more in 2 wheel drive then some 4 wheel drives. When I had to put it in 4 the mud would fly. Never really got stuck unless the mud was above the bumper. But this tire is great muddin. It might not be a bogger but I'll take it over one any day. Don't care what people said that tire was one of the best.

I've had these for about a year, with not a ton of riding, but I must say they are really solid tires. I have a buddy with mud lites and one with outlaws, and mine are just as good as theirs. The only time I do worse, is when I belly out- which no tire can save you then. I'd probably go with a lighter tire next time, but they really have a crap load of bite when you run low pressure. I actually ran them flat one winter ride, and it did better than most. You won't regret buying them, but you do need a bigger ride or a 2 wheel drive to be able to turn them.

I have a set of 285/75/16 on my 95 chevy and they do really well in thick south carolina swamp mud. they shed mud really well and ride really well on the street. they start to howl a bit when they get around 10,000 miles, but not unbearable. only been stuck once, but that was cuz of clearence issues, not the tire
