I don't see what guys have against this tire. No it won't go through mud like swampers but what will?
If you want a mud tire that you can leave on your daily driver and not have to change every couple thousand miles it's a good pick. Also a lot cheaper than other tires.

I purchased the Optima yellow top because of high end stereo equipment. Kinda stuck with getting the yellow top because of the limited space between the fire wall, and shock mount in my Civic. I used he battery to power up a clean 2200 watts of power, 1400 of it running two JL 15" subs. The battery ran the system very well through the summer time, but come winter when the car would sit in my garage the cold would eat away the charge within 3 days. I have gone through 3 yellow tops in 3 years. I purchased it ($140.00) from Pep Boys, and once a year they replaced it for free. I recently went to Pep Boys with the intent of purchasing a new battery, and was told they pulled all the yellow top Optimas from their stock, due to several customer complaint/returns. I personally dont believe my $140 would of been well invested if Pep Boys wouldnt have done the returns for me.

I had a set of 35x14.5x15's on a suburban and I loved them. I never got to any rock crawling like I do with my jeep, and I don't see how they would fair all that well on rocks, but as far as mud bashing and such, they were great. I never sunk in places where people with larger tires and lighter vehicles were. those side bitters just grabbed and ran me right on out. Even rocking 3.73 gears in that monster, I never had a problem. On the road, LOUD is all I have to say. The guy who said they sound like a WWII bomber was not lying. LOUD. Lot of looks and kids loved them. I probably wouldn't get them again as I do more rock crawling than mud romping, but there were fun for that!

I run 38x15.50s on my pickup. They have been wearing pretty good for a 38" tire. They balanced well without using much weight.
On the road they are a bit noisy. They drive on snow cover roads great. On wet roads they don't slide much and braking has been good also.
Offroad these tire really shine. The dig through mud like crazy. Deep snow doesn't stand a chance either. Once worn in and aired down to about 14psi they flex real well on the rocks. I wish the sidewall a little stronger, but i don't play on real big rocks so its not a big issue for me.

Probably the best all-around tire for a 4x4 that is mostly a daily driver and weekend toy. I've had 2 sets of these that have been on 3 different 4x4s. 30s, and 33s. Both were great.
On road they can't be beat by any other light truck tire. They are quiet, ride well, and the wear is amazing. Ended up getting over 30,000 miles on the 33s and sold them with still over 1/3 of the tread left. Only got rid of them for a more aggressive tire for wheeling.
Offroad they work good on green and blue trails. As long as the mud isn't too thick they will pull through it. For an all terrian they handle the mud pretty good. On the rocks they fleax great and wrap around the edges to pull you right up and over.

We run these on my wife's XJ, 33sx 12.50.
Offroad they are great. They dig through all but the thickest mud like it was nothing. They clean the tread pretty good while spinning in the mud. On the rocks, once worn in, they wrap and flex beautifuly. When new the flex isn't there.
On the street they wear well and are quiet. On snowy roads they don't slide much and pack nicely with snow so you get good traction. On wet roads the braking is kinda poor, they slide a bit too much for my taste.

I have run 35s on 2 differnt 4x4s. They were great on both heavy trucks and Jeeps.
On road they wear great. The road noise isn't too bad. They balance with very little weight. The ride is nice if not aired up too much for the vehicle.
Offroad they were amazing. They dig through mud and clean themselves very well. On the rocks the wrapped around and climbed right over them.
The only downside to these tires is on wet pavement and on a heavy truck. They slip alot if starting off going uphill. Some sipes in the tread would help alot.
