I've had 'em for a few weeks now, no complaints so far. I have only taken them on the road, dirt, and mud. They are quiet on the road, can't tell a difference between them and my old BFG A/Ts. Offroad, I havn't had them slip yet. My only previous experience is with all terrains so obviously it's night and day offroad. Not too much experience with them but I hope i could help some.

Been on the trail a few times since I got mine including a snow run and I love them, lots of grip and they look good too. The only mud terain tires I have run other than these were the old BFG muds's and I think these are better.

Take your wheels off and bring those in and tell them it's for a Bronco. That's what I did...granted that was for my 31's, but I bet they'd installed 33's on a Bronco.

I think he ment they wouldn't mount them on the Jeep itself. Most places will mount any tire size on a rim, but wont mount them on the vehicle if they are oversized.

I got the same price at Sams Club, and it includes lifetime road hazard.
And the guys at my Sams have been VERY forgiving about offroad hazards, too! :kissyou:

I have had mine for a few months and think they are a big improvement on the older KM M/T's. I went to Moab a month ago and they seemed to work better than the MTR's did on everyone elses truck. I have had them in thick mud and they clean out much better than the previous style M/T, they throw huge chuncks of mud with little tire speed required. I think they are a little louder on the road though but they ride nice, smooth, and straight. They also have a stronger sidewall than the KM's. Can't wait to try them in the snow this weekend!

Pickup up my 35x12.5x15s for 720 out the door last weekend. I let you know I might go play around this weekend.

Great tire. I'm running 35x12.5x17 on beadlocks and done JV Aftershock and Truckhaven and Glamis. No problems and I have been hard on them. My only complaint is a little less forward bite than the old MudTerrain in the sand. But that is why I ran beadlocks and air down to 4 pounds at Glamis.

I took mine out a couple of weekends ago on a snow run and they performed awsome, much better than the old KM's IMO. They actually performed better than I thought they would.

so one person says they are as quite on road as A/T's and someonelse said they are loud on the road. anyone else have some input.
I was planning to get a set of a/t's for street and a second set of wheels and tires for mud, but if theese tire are as quite as A/T's I will skip that plan.
