For the guy that says they rattle his truck apart. I would say buy a new rig. These tires run smooth at 85 and grip and slip when you want them to. Not a big mudding tire but does well with light rigs. And Noise? Hardly a sound compared to a swaper or baja. Siping makes them really stick to the rocks.
This is the best all-around tire I've ever run on my truck or Jeep. It seemed to grip best on the jeep I had, but I think the light rear end on the truck will spin any tire when you first start out. Once in 4-wheel drive though, the truck would go through snow drifts and a foot of mud with no problem.
I've been through some serious winters in Michigan/Ohio, and they were great tires. I was slipping a little on ice, so I decided to have them siped at the tire shop; it was a smart decision. They gripped so much better, I will now sip every tire I ever buy.
They also last forever. After 40K miles, the tred looks new. I find this amazing, since I only got 20K out of the crappy, super-slippery Michelin LTXs I had previously. I do rotate every 5K miles.
The only weakness is the cracking after 4 years. They went from looking brand new to getting huge cracks in the sidewall and tred almost overnight. It had nothing to do with the siping, as my non-siped set on the Jeep and my dads set did the same after 4 years. Must be something about the rubber breaking down. I've never had tires last 4 years, as the tred usually wore down in 2 or 3 years, so maybe cracking is normal? Other than the cracking, this tire (when siped) is awesome!

28,000 miles on an '06 Dodge 2500 CTD 4X4. Wear at about 75%. Will probably buy a new set the beginning of the year. I like these tires. They perform GREAT off road be it soft sand, gravel or rocky terrain. Tried them in the snow in Northern Nevada, seemed to do well. They cleaned themselves quite nicely. Great load rating if you haul and/or tow. And I dig the sound they make going down the road.
Now the bad stuff. These tires can take anywhere from an ounce to a pound of lead to balance. I've had to rebalance three times! They don't do well on wet pavement. I have a 6-speed manual and can easily break them loose going up the freeway ramp in 5th gear. Pretty easy to get sideways in a wet turn. Quite a bit of vibration too, but that should be expected from an open tread design such as this. And they WILL flat spot despite what you may hear.
In summary, I really do like the tires all things considered. They wear well if you rotate often and pay attention to air pressure. I would have rated them higher had it not been for all the balancing issues I've had. Overall pretty good stuff!

06 four door duramax with 37 1350 r 20. I got 62,000 miles out of these tires hauling a 28 foot snow mobile trailer all the time in the winter, never had a problem, just rotate every 5000 miles. They humm pretty loud, but are indestructable.

Everything I'd expect from a mud tire, they're loud, bumpy, have terrible flat spots if you leave them sitting too long, but they are awesome off road, tough as nails, and make anything look bad ass!(or broken)hahaha
