I have had these tires for about 27000 miles and only have about 5000 left on them. I am impressed how these tires have held up with my vigorous off roading, although they clog easily in mud. I am supremely satisfied with the ice and snow performance of these tires and would definitely recommend them to anyone who isn't an extreme off roader.

Installed these puppies on my Dana 44 under the Scout after snapping a stock Spicer and dislodging the ball joints. Never wanted that to happen again so I got these. Holy crap. I've never seen u-joints like this. I don't worry about these being the weak link anymore.

Awesome performing and looking tire. I've posted before about this tire on other reviews sites and I'm even more impress now after some winter driving. I think they look like a rock crawler tire, simular to the Baja Claw. I have them on my 1997 S10 ZR2. Off road they get great traction with dirt, mud, and snow. They clean out well and have great traction. Snow traction is VERY impressive, and I run them at 45 psi for the street with the truck unloaded and still in 2wd and they keep digging in the snow. They have some road noise, like most mud terrain tires do. They have some tread wear after 2500 miles. The compound seems soft, but thats why I think they stick so well offroad.

I have a set of the 305/40-22 (32" tall) Dune Grapplers on my yoda desert runner. I run them in the sand trails here in NM and although they are expensive, they do perform well in the sand. Good flotation. They get decent traction and don't dig like some other AT tires I've used. I definitely like the look. On the road they're fine. I did hit a rain storm a few times and with a lack of sipes, I felt they could have had better traction on wet pavement but they are built for desert racing and not wet driving. I'd recommend them, but I'm not sure I'll get them again due to the cost. Overall I spent over a thousand bucks on tires. That's a lot for my budget.

If you have the dana 20 transfercase, switching from the ratio 2:1 to 3.15:1 will make all the difference. I swapped my gears in my Bronco 2 Dana 20 and I went from using the throttle too much to having control. I like wheeling rocks and slow, controlled momentum is so much better than revving it up to keep from stalling, then banging over the rocks. I went from driving like an amature to looking like a pro. I kept my axle gears at 3.54 so it's not too bad on the highway. The installation I did myself. It wasn't that hard of an install. I needed to grind a little of the casing like the instructions say but it wasn't anything difficult. The gears are beefy. Definitely worth the dollars to upgrade. - Jake

I have the redtop Optima in my home grown dune buggy that gets used hard on the slag and coal piles in the PA coal region. I trailer the buggy to several places, one that's posted here in this site (Trevorton and Shamokin area). I have the Optima mounted on it's side so the cables can route more direct to the ignition system and starter solinoid. It's been in the buggy for 6 years now. The buggy's been rolled 3 times and I've had the alternator die and the battery drained. The Optima's still going strong, even though the engine's been replaced once. Great battery. I don't used anything but the Optimas.
