Very disappointed!
I have never spent that much for tires. Bought a lifted truck, wanted nice tires on it, PD the price, 20k - 30k miles maybe and it rattles so bad I can't talk in a phone through Bluetooth. Rotated tires every oil change. Good looking tire, but didn't last for the price..

Dangerously terrible
We got them on f150, 250, and a 350. They are terrible on wet roads spin out even at lower acceleration/incline. Hitting potholes or paved/unpaved road sections it jars trucks left/right. Really don't gain any noteworthy off-road traction despite the on road sacrifice. Will say didnt hurt mpg and is only slightly more noisy than a less aggressive all-terrain. (I've had michelins and Firestone ATs. Had them for 20k miles treadwear is pretty good honestly wish they were slicks and it would force me to eat cost and get different tires

Tires are new yet and have only had them a couple of months. they ride well and are quiet. I have not had a chance to drive them in the snow and not long enough to judge tire wear but happy so far.

This is a great tire for a southern truck not that good on real wet highways it's a hard compound tire so they are not good in the snow at all but they last a long time and looks great but not a good New England tire sorry .
I did not buy these tires they came on the truck I bought.

Would definitely rate them as my least favorite tires I've ever ran. Very poor in the snow and any sort of wet conditions. All they're good for is dry pavement. Would definitely not run these again

Replaced stock 4Runner tires with these, same size. The ride was immediately better, less wallow, more sure footed. No more noise than standard passenger tires. Very quiet. No off road experience yet.
