Safety!
These tires are the only tires I feel safe in during snow season. I do snow removal in the Colorado mountains and they make my truck absolutely unstoppable. I don't slide at all and never get stuck.

Best tires for the money hands down!!
I currently have 35k on these and looks to be easily past 40k. This is on a heavily offroaded tundra crewmax. These tires seem to have better quality and thought put into them compared to other tires in this category. There are small "spikes" in between each tread lug all over the tire which improves traction in snow, dirt and whatever else you come across. Think winter tread on the carcass of the tire. Cool concept. Just ordered my second set because I'm in love with these. They just work (and last!) Great traction. They are a little firm but they are 10 ply. Never had issues airing down. Very tough sidewall. Never had punctures on the trail. There may be better tires out there but for the price, this is the pinnacle. I don't write reviews on anything unless I really want people to know a quality product. Thanks simple tire!

Great all around tire
Had these tires for about 1000 miles so far and they've already been tested through winter conditions as well as rain and dry roads. The noise is incredible as far as 37 inch tires go and same with the ride quality. Driving a one ton pickup you're gonna feel every bump in the road anyway but since getting these tires it's been a little bit more comfortable. No issues with grip in the snow and puddles on the road don't pull me off the road like my old tires did. They've also got a nice aggressive look that could rival most rough/mud terrains out there and at the price point you can't really beat that. Hard to find good lower priced 37 inch tires that don't demolish the bank.

Never purchase
These tires are out of round according to the local tire shop. I have been back twice to try and have them balanced first with weights then with balance beads with no luck. They shake so bad they are going to cause mechanical damage to my vehicle. I followed the instructions and sent an email to Simple tire with my situation and have gotten absolutely no response!!! I will never deal with this company again! This is a very expensive lesson to learn!!!

Great tires for the price
Obviously was nervous about these due to not knowing the brand but really couldn't be happier. They were more aggressive than I thought they would be so I was nervous about noise. They're obviously not as quiet as a non AT tire but really can't hear them over wind noise. Heavy duty and well made. Would def get these instead of Toyo's due to saving 1k.

Have about 4000 miles on them great in winter
They are some of the few tires that are good on wet grass backed right up to the woodpile. Will buy these again.

Would not buy again
Tread is super soft. I have about 10,000 miles and they are about worn out. I will definitely need new tires by fall. Will buy a name brand from now on.

35" Terra Raider's on a Jeep Wrangler JLU
I bought these 315/70R17 because I needed tires and the supply chain was empty of the other brands I originally wanted. Really like how aggressive they look on the side walls and tread. I get a lot of positive compliments on the tires. I have been surprised by how well they performe in my daily driving which consists of country roads and city streets. They have been excellent in heavy rain and standing water(I75 at Jellico Mountain can get ridiculous in a heavy downpour). I haven't needed 4wd when off roading in light mud on moderate trails. They have gotten a little noisier as they've gotten more mileage but they are still not as bad as new mud tires. They have about 30k miles right now and they appear to have 10k left in them. I think they key to that is I rotate them every 5k. Over all happy with the them and they were much cheaper than the others. 37's on my next purchase.
