Last two purchased one was defective (held air roughly 3 days and under 10 miles) but because I own my own tire machine with a lifetime of experience I was not allowed a claim. B.S.!

Installed these on an '86 F-250 with the 9Klb suspension package. Went with the 235/85/16 (stock size) and the look good on it and perform surprisingly well for the price. This is a heavy hauler/trailer monster so it is mainly on the pavement. The tires are pretty quiet, have a nice stiff sidewall which I definitely prefer (this truck has an extremely rough ride regardless due to the springs so that's really not something I consider), they balanced out easily and seem to have great traction response wet or dry. Overall I am pretty happy with the purchase all the way around. Good tire - good price.

This is a really smooth running tire. I like the low noise levels that this tire produces. Amazing at the price that you can buy them for. I have been complimented on how they look on my truck. This is my tire store. Thanks simple tire.
