Excellent all around tire for a Jeep Wrangler!
Excellent all around tire for a Jeep Wrangler! These tires are everything I was hoping for - no regrets here! Nice looking tread with some side edge grip for just-in-case 4-wheeling, but not too aggressive for the street/highway. They have great traction wet or dry and perform well in the snow. They also have good overlapping center tread bars (next tread bar touches the road before the previous one releases the road, which is probably what causes the nice quiet ride on the highway. They balance up well and are very smooth going down the road, even at 70 mph. Note - Don't install them on too narrow of a rim as they do crown just a little bit across the tread from edge to edge. Sorry, not enough miles yet for me to comment on treadwear, but no problems so far.

Great tires!!!
I waited to review these until I put some miles on them and went through snow. All that I have to say is these are great tires!! Great snow performance! MY CRV was dragging the bottom on the 16" snow but with these tires just went throught it like nothing. Tires are heavy but thats because they are a D rated sidewall.

So much more than I was hoping for!
I bought these tires because I often haul heavy loads in the back of my 1965 Chevy C10, and usually on shale gravel roads which can be very hazardous to regular 4 ply tires. I was expecting a rough ride as these are very stiff tires, but instead enjoy a very smooth, comfortable ride. I was expecting a lot of road noise on the highway, as the tread is very aggressive, but instead hear no more road noise than I did with regular winter tires on. I have yet to enjoy these in the winter months as I just got them in May, so I'll update this review once I've experienced them in the snow. Overall, these are very excellent tires for what most would consider "offroad" as well as actually going offroad through the woods on wet, grass covered areas where I would normally spin a little. I was in no way expecting bad tires, I just didn't expect them to be this good! I wouldn't shy away from recommending these to regular highway drivers that only go "offroad" a couple times a year, or from people that plan to use them exclusively offroad. We'll see how they do this winter!
For clarity, these are mounted on a 1965 Chevy C10, but they didn't have that in their options for vehicles, so I picked the oldest model they had.
