I put these tires on a Ford Ranger 2001 XLT. The ride is so comfortable with these tires on and off the pavement it almost feels like it improved my suspension. I bought this truck new and I've had it for 21 years. It is well maintained and the tires might be a little oversized for that truck. This is the best set of tires I have purchased for that truck in 21 years. They are extremely loud but I like it that way.
That was a super butt kissing review, someone should give me a kickback. I'm just saying?????"

Just recently had them installed so I don't know how the tread life will do may update later but as of now the tires look fell and handle amazing for everyday driving and perform very well in mud (job sites aren't always dry not just mud riding if you must know) they clean off very well however be aware they do tend to throw large rocks that get caught in the tread. That's the only problem I've found with these tires other than that these tires are flawless. When it comes time I will definitely be getting same kind of tires.

Great tires! Perfect on dry and off-road conditions with minimal noise and wear. Only downside is they have a little less traction in wet conditions compared to a normal tire but that's to be expected from a M/T tire. Gets a 5/5 from me.

These tires are great some say during wet roads they were a lil slick but no issues here. They are on a 4cyl jeep though so not alot of power. Just had first snow and handled well. Great ride at 60mph not loud at all

My buddy at work kept nagging me about how great his toyo's are and how long they're gonna last and this and that and whatever. We bought new tires roughly at the same time, we'll see which last longer haha. I love these tires, half the price of his toyo's and look just as good if not better. Got them in July, driven about 4000 miles and tread still looks great, practically new I tell u. Now we haven't had our winter yet so can't speak on that just yet. Reason I gave noise a 4 is well, they're mud tires and they're loud (duh)

These tires have been great, they don't wear more than my regular street tires, as I expected they would. They are louder, but that is to be expected, but sound great! Just slightly rougher of a ride over normal street tires, but I will most definitely buy them again!
