285/75/16, about 20k miles on a '85 Suburban with a 4" lift, 47 PSI front and rear, wear seems normal
They are good ATs, nothing fancy, nothing to worry about. I find them weak on wet roads just like many other ATs are (you notice when braking). They scare the hell out of me when it's raining hard and/or water builds up on the road: Since they are so wide, aquagliding starts early. Other ATs have the same problem, except for the Copper Discoverer M+S (which is a winter tire and thus not a fair comparison here). So if you live where you have wet roads a lot, think twice about ATs or at least get some that are famous for being excellent on wet roads.
On dry roads, they are just good tires. The truck isn't fast, but heavy, and I don't corner fast or anything. They feel good and safe to drive. You don't think about them being ATs.
I found them great on the beach because they showed very good traction and didn't tend to dig in at all. Plowing tires that wide through deep sand takes a lot of traction, and I had no problem with that. I didn't air down and expected like a 50/50 chance that I might get stuck from my experience with other ATs and beaches, but with these tires I came never even close to having a problem. They just went through, and I was impressed.
They are acceptable on snow, i. e. you don't get stuck when you know what you're doing and when you're driving through snow for fun. If I was living where there was a lot of snow, I would want winter tires. If I was living where there was actually a winter (unlike Texas), even with not much snow, I would want different tires.
You can drive through mud with them almost as good as you can with other ATs. They get coated at once and then provide rather limited traction, just like other ATs. When you know what you're doing, you don't get stuck. Drive into wet/muddy grass, and you won't get as far as you might think and need someone to tow you out.
I've been driving with these tires through Big Bend National Park over all the dirt roads in March. It's totally harmless when you have sufficient ground clearance, and I haven't had any problems with the tires.
I've had one flat from driving where there were a lot of short pieces of wire on the ground. One of the wires went into the tire between the tread blocks. I found it after driving maybe 50 miles when filling the tank. I pulled out the wire and could hear the air escape, so I put the wire back in. There was no place around to repair a tire, but one was supposed to be about 30 miles away. The place was already closed for the weekend, but they sold tire repair kits. I used the repair kit and found it very hard work to make the hole big enough to put the strip of rubber in; these tires are really sturdy. (I didn't have a spare tire of the same size.) It held up over night and for maybe another 65 miles of driving until it was repaired under Discount Tires' warranty without questions. I guess getting a flat that way can happen to any tire.
Overall, they are good tires and can be recommended when you live somewhere where it's rather dry without a real winter. They don't exactly let you down when you go off the road, especially not on the beach.

Ive had these tires in the 35 inch size on my 2001 silverado for about a year now. These tires ride smooth on the street and hold their own in the mud. One piece of advice, STAY OUT of soft sand. On the beach, i always find myself fighting to keep moving. As far as tread life, if you keep these tires rotated and balanced on a fairly regular basis, you could expect to get 80 or 90 thousand miles on them. They even look great to boot. I would highly recomend this tire if you are looking for a smooth riding tire that can get you from A to B, even when the trail get rough. BFG all the way!

I just bought a deluxe model gun vault and it will not lock at all. When you close the door it pops open every time. It seems to be some type of problem with the locking mechanism. Glad to hear they are good to deal with, because I am returning mine. I am not sure if I will get a replacement or a different model.
