Ya, Retreads! Just got two of these in the 265/75-16 size. $216 for both, delivered to my door. I'm going to order 2 more next payday. I will put the first 2 on the rear and then when the others come in I'll finish the front. Going to put them on the stock KJ steelies after powder coating them black.
I'll have the reviews up for first impressions and then as winter arrives in NW Ohio I'll update with snow and mud reviews. They look BADAZZ, hope they perform as well as they look. I got the ones with the extra "kedge grip".
from their website:
Kedge Grip: Our own unique blend of crushed (recycled) glass and crushed walnut shell particle blended into our full grade truck rubber. Kedge Grip acts in a twofold way; first the walnut shell is designed to come out leaving small (approximately 1 mm) size pits in the tread surface that will act as additional siping and create more traction edges to grip the road. The second is the crushed glass which is designed to stay in longer and create a gritty surface to help anchor you to the road. Does it really work? Don’t take our word for it, read some of the testimonials. Also, check out the 4Wheeler magazine (though under a different name that we are not allowed to use any longer due to trademark issues) in the August 2009 issue. They consistently had excellent results with our Kedge Grip.

Edit: ended up with 285/75-16 with these measurements

Meas. Rim Width: 8”

Tread Width: 9.1”

Rim Width Range: 7.5-9”

Max Load: 3,305 lbs

I have the same tires in 245/75R16. Have to say that I am very happy with them. Great in mud and on wet pavement, and gravel. Well worth the money.

Same here. Around 12,000 miles on mine and I love 'em.

For those of you that have had them on for awhile, how are they wearing?

Ive had mine for 10k now and the wear is very minimal, I'm going to do my first rotation next oil change. For anyone thinking about buying these I would highly recomend getting the 265/70/16 P rated tires, I'm running the 245/75's and they are load range E, they weigh about 60 pounds each. If you equate that to P rated size its like running 36's :shock:

I'm almost scared to hit the pedal, I know if I have too much wheel spin I'm going to grenade my diff.

all in all excellent tire

good in the mud, the voids do fill quickly
great on wet pavement
excellent on rocky terrain, I think better than actual MTR's the lugs are closer resulting in more bite.

Have to agree with ramlebliberty, had mine on now for just about the same, and they are wearing fantastic. Need to be rotated but havent bought the 5th tire yet. They are pretty heavy like he stated. When I put the 245/75r16's and my mileage went from 18-20 average all the time to 14-16 average now. Guess its time for gears.

Got my other 2 Friday :lol:

Have 2 rims painted, need to get the other 2 sandblasted e-coated and painted and then I can put 'em on and see how badly they rub :roll:

UPDATE : LOVE THESE TIRES !!!! Ended up with 4 - 285/75-16 and had to do Major trimming , cutting and welding to make 'em fit. But they're on and don't rub :BANANA:

During last weeks snow the only time I even had to pull the lever was going in and out of my driveway. Can't wait to actually get these babies off road~!

I have these on 15's and found that they actually increased my mileage. I went from my Dunlop Mudrovers to the Guard Dogs and pick up a few miles per gallon
