Not really impressed
I purchased a set of these a few months ago for my 2019 Silverado 1500 LD and love the look on my truck. I also am very impressed with the noise and comfort on the pavement and was excited driving home the first time. I have to say though, the amount of tire slip and spin I get with these is way worse than I had with the factory tires that were on the truck. It doesn't seem to matter if it's dry, wet, or snowy, they spin very easy unless I ease into the gas, and it doesn't matter if it's a turn or straight. I m not sure that I would purches these again the way they are. Great price and comfort, not happy with the performance.

Great tire
I have e loads with almost 50k miles on them. Still have plenty of tread on them. They've been great. They're a bit on the stiff side but they're also more geared toward off roading than say at3ws. They're a heavy tire. But they're crazy durable. They do get a little bit louder but nothing that bad. Handled rocks, sand, snow and wet conditions amazingly. I don't have clay where I am but they handled mud pretty well. Overall I've been happy and will be buying another pair

Great tires on my Jeep
I've had the tires 35x10.5x17s on my jeep for a little less than a month now. Right off the bat I noticed how quite they ride and smooth. Can't say much about snow yet but in wet conditions they keep riding very nicely. Definitely would recommend and purchase again!

Great tires! Highly recommended
Great tires! They look good and are aggressive when in a pinch but not loud on the road. For the price you can't beat them!
Haven't put much drive time on them yet as we put them on a fire crawler brush truck, but initial impressions are great. Also the availability in a 10.5 width was a game changer for the geometry on the build. Cant wait to really put them to the test

Been as good as my wildpeaks except when roads wet
Great tires (so far) 6,000 miles and they don't look like they've worn a bit, took a trip from West Virginia to Moab Utah, did great on the interstate and performed excellent at 10psi off road!
