these came on my 05 rubicon, horrible wet weather traction, locks up on wet pavement under braking, tendency to slide while cornering. Not very good on muddy trails, lots of wheel spin needed to clean the tread. I had them siped, which didn't improve wet weather traction, but did speed up the already fast wear these tires had. I was just not satisfied with this tire, have replaced with the wild country sxt mud terrains, which are hands down a much better tire in every aspect than the mt/r.

i have the 33/13.5/16's ltb, they started life on my 01 cummins, but shortly after i trade for a 2005 rubicon, i gladly traded the goodyear mtr's for this tire, they do vibrate and hum on road, but offer good traction on wet and dry pavement, the wear has been pretty good, have about 30,000 miles on them in 3 years and have just now hit the wear indcators. Offroad they are awesome, rocks, trails, snow and sand have never been a problem, even in 2wd, they are tough, never had a punture to the tread or sidewalls, they do take some weight to balance, but in the 3 years i've had them, they have only been balanced twice. They do take some power to turn, but the i-6 in my jeep does pretty well with them. Would recommend this tire to everyone, they are priced great, offer outstanding offroad capability, and will get you home at the end of the day.

These are great tires they look agresive as hell and i have had alot of compliments on them. they make any 4X4 or @wd look mean. but I have only had them on for about a year and the tread is gone. i already have to bhy new tires. other than that i took them to the Texas coast and they work awsome in sand. they handled well in the snow for me in Tennesse. And are a great mud slining tire. I take my tuck through alot of stuff, rocks, sand, mud, ice, snow and even do some creek driving and I have never been stuck while i have had these tires on my truck. all in all i think they are a great tire. just have to replace them every year. i will be replacing these with another set of 255 thornbirds.

I've been running these on a 4runner for about a year now and they've done really well in all conditions. I mostly wheel on rocks and dirt (no mud). They have great traction in those conditions. They seem to be wearing fairly quickly but I wheel alot so I'm not sure if my experience is normal. They're quiet on the street and handle really well (no tread squirm or balance issues). I air down to 12 psi and they conform really well on rock. Sand is no prob as well, really decent float. These tires have been to Moab 4 times, Hammers twice and Rubicon once. These tires are an incredible value.

26" XTR's on SS rims Best all round tire I have had-ie. not quite as good in mud as mud bugs but what they lack in mud they surpass in trail manners and not as good of trail as a Terra-cross but what they lack in trail manners they make up for in the mud !!Hope you get what I mean .

Returning. from the Oct. 7 post to fill you in on just how good these tires really are.
I am real big into rock crawling and went to an event yesterday. I did a little bit or rock crawling and they grabed the muddy rocks great. In the deep mud and water holes, the only real problem i had was the deep ruts left by super swampers before hand and my truck sits lower then the guys running super swamper 44 and bigger. but the tires still pulled me out with no problem. In the sand i had to air down some for a better or bigger foot print but once i did, i had no problems to speak of. in the snow, i have to say there still great. But if your driving on snow with lits of ice under then i would recomend studing them. slid around on the ice a lot but had no trouble grabing snow to gain tracktion again.
All in all, the only thing i have to really complain about is becouse the tires are very much heavier then your rag A/T tire i go threw gas a lot more now. I was getting about 290 a tank in my toy and now im getting 200 to 222 if i run till my gas light comes on.
But for me this is a real little thing to have to worry about.
If you want a really well designed tire that wont let you down when you need to go up to get back home then i strongly recomand this tire.
So to you all that are thinking of getting them or have got them, have a great ride and have fun out there on the trails.
Be safe
Jaye
