I have had mine for about 10k miles and they are great, no irregular treadwear at all. I had one develop a bubble in the sidewall which I had replaced under warranty a while back but that was the only issue I have had. I am very happy with them.

Very good all-purpose tire. I've found they aren't good in mud, or on ice, but for everything else they do what I want. I don't use them in winter, though.

I love mine
I've put about 5,000 miles on them so far and haven't had any problems.
I have used them in the snow and ice and haven't had any problems. Then again - I take it very slow in the snow. Stopping 4,000 lbs on ice with any tire is tough!

I go offroading a few times a week and again, never had a problem. And boy of boy "grabber" is the right term. After going off anywhere with small enough rocks then going on the freeway (or any road where you are going over 25mph for that matter) you will have rocks being thrown out of them they had "grabbed" on the trail. Teaches the guy behind you to back off though!!!!

Great tire - looks tough but not overly macho. Good decision!

thanks.. got them put on Saturday.. so far i like em.. it snowed yesterday but it didnt stick enough to warrant me to go play in the snow.. was a dusting.. but they will be tested soon enough.. i wonder how much studs would be and if they would help in snow/ice situations to warrant buying them..

studs are great used to run them all the time and loved them, had enough money then to have a dedicated winter set and summer set :lol:
If you have already ran the tires you can not go back and install studs in them, though, they have to be done before you run them.

Reason...small amounts of dirt, sand, stones maybe down in the holes with installing the studs it will push down on the studs which may cause a leak. Some tire shops will do it, (the poor ones) but not at all advisable!

Personal opinion:

I think that the only reason those tires get such great reviews is because they're replacing OEM garbage on almost everything they're going on.

Just MHO.
