Stylized Buttress Design - Unique buttress design for biting edges in the upper sidewall for additional traction in soft surfaces while contributing to a bold, rugged appearance

Pros: Awesome pavement manners, handling, wet traction
Cons: Some noise, but not bad

285/75/17 on 2006 F150 - I wanted a streetable M/T that was good in deep snow. I have only had these on the street and off road in dry dirt. I put 750 miles on my truck this weekend alone and the noise is not bad in a well insulated truck, it is a higher whine compared to BFG M/T KM's I'm used before. Do not overinflate them (like my tire shop) as they will ride rough and loud, I run 30psi typically. The frequency is easier to drown with the radio and the longer you drive the less you notice it. On pavement I'm extremely impressed, they handle extremely well while still maintaining a great ride. In wet pavement they stick like gecko feet. I've only offroaded in dry dirt so far, but they dig and roost like crazy. I can't wait for some mud and deep snow. I like them way better than the original BFG KM's I have my most previous experience with, and those were good tires. We'll see if I can get the same wear out of them.

Pros: cheap, dig very very very well in mud, good ride/handling moderate noise
Cons:

Bought a set of 285/75-16s very very hard on these tires have 14,000 on them rotated recently bc back tires were at 30% very soft tires saw major rubber chips tearing out of the middle of the center lugs while pulling round bales on gravel roads awesome in mud and pretty good in snow wet pavement traction isn't the best

Pros: Good ride, balance well, low noise level, perform well offroad
Cons: Need a little side tread

Have 1,500 miles on these. Have been through black bottom mud, red clay, loose, rutted hills and wet rocks. These handle well on the road with little noise for a M/T. Roll smooth and took almost no weight to balance. Dig in all types of mud and clean well with little wheel spin. I don't do extreme offroading, but I do offroad on a regular basis. There are no cuts, chips or sidewall damage. These are an excellent all-round tire for your daily driver and weekend offroad vehicle. Mine are 285/75R16's on a 2004 Jeep Rubicon. Paid $200/ea and if I get more than 20k miles out of them (and I expect to), I'll probably be hooked for life. And they are a good looking tire!!!!

Pros: quiet, aggressive, smooth highway ride
Cons:

The pics do not do this tire justice. Far more aggressive in real life than the pics suggest. I put a set of 235/85R16 on my '93 F250 and the ride and handling are amazing and far surpass the BFG MT's I replaced them with. Good on snow, slush and sticky mud. They clean out quick and handle gravel great. For such an open design the tire is very quiet on the highway. Highly recommended!

Pros: traction - on and off road
Cons: noise, noise and noise

Absolute best tires I've ever had for all kinds of driving. Sticks great on dry or wet roads. I'm most impressed by the winter performance. Goes through deep snow like it's not even there. Even good on ice, which is shocking for an aggressive mud tire like this.


Alas, there is a downside. Noise. I've had all sorts of mud tires from BFG to Ground Hawgs and none can match the howl and vibration these create. You can feel every lug at speeds up to 20mph, then it's a constant vibration. Air pressure doesn't matter, I've had mine from 22-35 lbs, there is no getting away from the howl.


Highly recommended if you need maximum traction. Just don't expect to talk to your passengers if your windows are open.

Pros: Nice aggressive look. The very best for off roading light trucks.
Cons: Noisy. Less vehicle control on road. More bumpy ride.

These are awesome looking tires with an incredible tough looking tread. I got the 235's on a GMC Canyon midsize truck. I was worried about off roading with a smaller truck but these tires rip right through mud, swampy water, and do well over rocks. In a smaller truck I do not recommend driving them on pavement unless you off road frequently. The tires are very noisy, and you have less control especially when making sharp turns. In a smaller truck you will definetly feel every lug on pavement and the ride will not be as smooth. I only use these bad boys when offroading and the winter.

Pros: Quiet, smooth ride, great traction
Cons: none yet!

Installed 31 X 10.5 X 15 yesterday on my Jeep TJ. Have already tested them out in the biggest mud hole I could fine, and some good high-speed gravel corners. They grip amazing well, and are surprisingly quiet on the road for a full-on mud tire. Can't wait until it snows...

Pros: AGRESSIVE, Good looking, semi-unique, not too loud
Cons: Ice, Possibly short treadlife we'll see

For a mud tire I thought these would be much luoder on the road.On my 2nd year running these on my pathfinder and they have been great! The only time they have slipped is over large slipery roots and on ice. I have had them on everything else exept rocks and I am really impressed.

Pros: excellent traction, smooth on road
Cons: LOUD! weak sidewall, prone to shot-rock.

33 12.5 15's on an 84 toyota. locked rear and still wearing evenly. work at a tire store and these beat the km2's hands down! world war 2 bomber noise on deceleration. air them down to 5 pounds and they'll still stay on the bead!
