They are a damn good tire. Or at least they were on my open diff'd jimmy. I ran a set of 35x12.50's for two years on it. I drove it every day and averaged 30-45 miles a day. They weren't very good in the mud. I had to keep a lot of wheel speed to keep them clean. Wet weather traction on the road was excellent due to the chevron pattern. They did well in rocks also. Sand was their biggest plus to me. After they dug down to the end of the sidewall cleats, it was all forward motion then.
