My uncle has them on his F250. He says they are good tires, but he doesn't do off-road or drive in deep snow too much. Plus he is a slow type driver obeying speed limits, etc. So I am not sure about handling of the tires, he says "they are good.." that's it.

Tirerack reviews say they are above avarage tires, with below average snow traction.

Right, they're also rated 4.5 stars on discount tire. Tires are a great thing, but I'm not one to spend days worrying about everyones review, driver bias is a huge factor IMO.

That's good for you. What do you go with when buying new tires, then?
But, of course, good luck with your purchase.

Tread, siping, treadwear, and reviews from reviewers I know. I mean think about it, with all the idiots you see driving around today, how many of them do you think would blame a crash (because of them being idiots) on their tires? About 90%?

I just purchased the same thing in 235/70-16 last month. You got a great deal I paid $580.00 in the Denver metro arera
I had Goodyear Fortera's before I already like the way these tires handle and on wet pavement. I was not impressed with the Fortera last year in all the snow we got here in Denver. But I have already had others drive my Jeep and say these tires feel better and handle better.
Congratulations 8)
