Initial Impressions
Just putting on my 3rd set.. love them! I am driving in my personal pickup truck traveling the USA fulltime and they’ve been in rain, hail, sleet, ice, mud, red clay, deserts, mountains, coastal turns.. you name it I’ve thrown it to these tires. I’ve had glass, nails, metal (out in TC oil rigging area) and dresser thorns all come at me in terrains and interstates and sometimes you can’t avoid and the Kevlar lives up to its name within these tires. The year before these came out I bought Goodyear tire similar to these but Kevlar wasn’t incorporated into the tire so it was a no brainer when these came out I ran purchase to get to try them..
I’ve reveled 150,000 miles in a little over a year and a half and this girl will tell you guys this is your tires just don’t buy out my size.. lol. I’m still going strong with this tire and the only thing I can say is red clay mud coming off the mesas and any tire will do this, they don’t have much grip on the red clay mud and if way below 0 degrees they’ll handle good on ice but likenanayntirenifnyiunhitnthenwrong patch be ready to straighten your ride up in the side..
I would recommend these without hesitating and I’m going continue with em’. Oh another thing is when you rub a curb or jump one they’ve handled liked great. No tears along the sides from curb rubs and sometimes this happens.
Happy journeys out there and maybe Goodyear would like to sponsor me a set to test ride to full crazy female capacity throughout the wildlands of the USA.
One more thing these say 80,000 mile tire umm more like 55,000 mile and as you know you’ll know for the tire will get louder..
The road noise very little but as wearing you’ll know new ones needed. Performance in cornering off exits, turns .. you’ll think you’re in a sports car even with a heavy load in your bed.
I can’t say enough about them because on road and off-road performance just excellent. Get a set you WON’T be disappointed..

I use this tire on an 80 series Landcruiser that spend most of its time off road. The road manners are good, but I find the off road traction to be excellent. Packed snow and ice are not fantastic unless you have studs, but deep snow performance is excellent. When I off road in the winter, it is not uncommon to be driving through area with 2 feet of fresh snow and this tire is awesome. Noise is just ok, but it has a fairly aggressive tread, so a little hum is expected. Wear has been great as I got roughly 50k miles out of my last set even with all the off road driving. I didn't see a lot of tread chunking and I have not had a single sidewall puncture in 10 years with these tires (Yes, I am knocking on wood after typing that). Thick mud is the only 'weakness' for this tire as the self cleaning is not quite as good as my last set of BFG KM2's, but considering this is more of an all terrain rather than a mud terrain tire, I cut it some slack. Also does well in sand.

Swapped to there's from pirelli at+ , instantly impressed, good steering response, better in the wet, much better in sloppy muddy fields tracks, covered approx 1500 miles and still have the bobbles on the tread so hopefully will wear well, the road noise is quieter than the pirelli with a pleasant not intrusive hum, MPG seems to have stayed the same , shocked as thought it would drop dramatically, only complaint at the moment is they seem harsh over rough road surfaces (more potholes in the UK these days!)
They do look good on the truck too , pleased so far
