Overall good tire
These are really good tires for the price, excellent traction on dry pavement and wet pavement, not so good on winter roads have to drive cautiously very comfortable tire smooth riding, but noise level is a bit above normal to high especially on the interstates treadwear is good could be better but for a mud terrain I can't complain.

Great value. Bang for your buck!
Had them for about a year now and they preform great in All situations( snow mud and dirt) they ride well and have held up better than most of the tires I have run. Have them on a 96 Bronco that I drive daily on and off road. Would definitely buy again.

I tried 2 sets of these tires. The first set I had balanced by 2 different tire shops 3 times and an alignment within a couple thousand miles and would not ride smooth. Simple tire is an awesome company and agreed to send me another set thinking the first set was defective. The second set was even worse. I have since bought another set of tires and the balance good and ride smooth. I don't normally leave reviews but I want to warn others before they waste a ton of time and money of these tires.
