i had these on my 91 2x4 silverado when i was 16 they were 31x10.5 and i only put them on the rear axle. they were the best thing i ever did with just one wheel spinning i never got stuck in anything and i went places my buddies in 4x4's wouldn't go, now ive got a set of 285 on my 95 seirra 4x4 and they are just as amazing as they were with my two wheel drive.

I bought these tires in summer of 08 for my 97 k1500 and used them all goose huntng season towing a trailer full of decoys through sloppy fields and sticky clay. These are the best mud tires i've ever owned. They chew up mud with no problem and clean very well due to the center groove down the tire. Have not got stuck yet with them and i've been through some sloppy mess. On the highway they ride very good with little noise and great control. The treadwear is good too. i have over 10,000k on them and they still look new. Is the best mud tire out right now in my opinion. I will definitely be purchasing these again.

Ok my buddy has the outlaw 28's and I had the 28 silver backs on 2 identical 09 700 polaris rangers. Went to red creek offroad this past weekend, through the same mud hole the gorillas climbed right through, the outlaws couldn't pull him out, he tried 2 times, I went back around after he gave up and went through it again. When he tried to back out the laws barely got him out after pulling back and forth, I went in and backed right out and then went on through as he went around!!!! Unbelieveable traction, I was so impressed my daughter finally told me to quit bragging on them cause I was embarrassing her!! LOL

I currently have a set of 35x12.50-R17 Pro Comp Mud Terrains installed on my 2006 F150. I have been pleased with this tire in most aspects, and am considering buying another set to replace these, though at the same time I want to experiement with other brands.
Here is my breakdown:
Dry Pavement - 9/10
On the highway they are pretty quiet for a MT, however, they can be a bit rough riding over certain types of bumps and have a tendancy to follow grooves slightly. On the surface streets (non-freeway/Interstate) they are a good tire with minimal tread vibration below 5mph (it goes away at speeds over that). They balance easily, but do need to be rotated and re-balanced about once every 10k miles for best performance.
Wet Pavement - 7/10
Anybody that understands fluid dynamics can tell you that the large, widely spaced tread-blocks are not condusive to water evacuation at high speeds. Ever seen an F1 rain tire? For moving water out of the way at speed, you need a straight line that flows in the direction the water will flow as the tire rotates (hence the V shaped tread). With that in mind, this tire performs more than acceptably and safely on wet pavement and even light snow or ice. The reviewers claiming that they are "deadly" on ice are more than likely the "deadly" aspect of the equation. As mentioned, the tires are stud-able for winter duties and if so equiped would clean house against most other tires available. I have not had any scray moments in the rain, snow or even on ice with my tires, although with the tread now worn to the wear-indicator bars, I am leery to ask much of them in inclimate weather. Common sense tells me to slow down when driving in bad weather, and when you apply that to these tires you will be A-Okay.
Off-Road, mixed trail use - 10/10
Here in northern California, we have a wide variety of terrain and it can usually all be found on the same trail. It is in these changing conditions, over trails containing: rocks, gravel, sand, clay-like soil, mud and even some roots and loose ground cover that the Pro Comp Mud Terrains are at their brightest! While they are not a standout in any one area, they are not poor in any areas either. To me, that is what makes them one of the best all-pupose tires you can get.
Off-Road, deep mud 6/10
While they are considered a mud terrain, they are certainly not as aggressive as some others on the market. If you are wanting a tire that can get you through the nastiest bog out there, look for a set of Super Swamper Boggers... for occasionaly mud pits and mud that isn't super gumbo in nature, these tires are capable enough to meet most people's needs.
Off-Road, sand - 9/10
I was damn impressed by these tires in the sand! My 6,000 pound F150 has a tendancy to sink deeply in to the sand at Pismo beach (or any dand dune for that matter), but when you air these tires down to 18psi or so they are a lot better at floating the truck. Don't be too worried if you sink down a little, as the tread on these things will rip you through sand just fine provided you have the power to turn them! I've been burried to the bottom of my rim, and with a quick stab of the throttle was able to pull myself back to the top and continue on my way... a moment later I realized that I had forgotten to shift the transfer case into 4wd (oops!), but they got me up an rolling depsite only powering the rear axle. Not bad if you ask me. As a side note: I have also pulled our dirtbike trailer and a 6,500 pound travel trailer (not at the same time) into some deep sand and driven out with no issue.
Off-Road, deep snow - 7/10
When the snow closes the roads, and subsequently the ski resorts and other areas you want to attend you have two choices: call it quits and waste you 1 week off of work, or, grab some buddies with 4x4s and pull snowboarders behind your truck! Again, air them down a little bit for floatation and they do a good job.
All in all, this is a great tire for a daily driver that also sees trail use. I am absolutely not against buying another set, but as I mentioned want to see what else is out there. I have 38k miles on this set and just recently hit the wear indicator bars. Given the size, weight and power (405hp and 472lb/ft to the tires via a Whipple super charger)of my truck, and the fact that it is often loaded down with alfalfa, tools and other weight I say the treadwear is quite good. Good all around tire for a full size truck. Worlds better than my old BFG MTs.

The tire let me way down. i had high expectations for it since i used to run the BFG KM... wouldn't recomend it for a offroad vehicle... might be a good on/off highway vehicle but doesn't perform in the extreme stuff.
