These tires are exceptional for the price.
I mounted a set of these 32x11.50 on an '83 Jeep CJ7 w/ 15x7" rims. They measure exactly 31" from the ground to the top crown of the tire w/ 30 psi. They handle well enough on wet roads, not as good as a road tire but they're above average for a mud tire. They grip pull well off road. And the treads clear mud very well. I've been pleased.

I really love these tires, I would buy again!
I love these tires. They say they are for mud but they work great in all kinds of weather.
I had the tires for a year and they barley wore down. The only issue is when it starts to rain, the tires feel like they slip a little due to the Deep and wide traction but when it rains harder, the tires really work great and when I hit a big puddle on the side of the road, I don't hydroplane like the original factory tires. I used to live on a dirt road and I never slid like the factory tires, the traction is awesome. I like these tires because I can run over a small potholes or bumps and rocks and not feel anything. When the snow came, these tires were Awesome and stood the test! Great tires at a great price! Thanks again! I'll be back! :)

Great offroad tire.
These were bought for an offroad vehicle that doesn't see much road time. They perform well on the trails and in the mud. There mud traction is way above average for a cheaper tire. I will buy them again for this purpose. Probably wouldn't put them on a daily driver though.

An aggressive tread pattern boosts traction and braking performance in mud, dirt, rocks, stones, and other off-road terrain, and the Desert Hawk X-MT's three step blocks promote self-cleaning for consistent traction and to protect the casing from damage..
