I'm thinking about upgrading to 35's in a few months and I came across these.

Has anyone ever tried them on a 3? Any pics?

I think they are a nice tire. Mine are holding up ok. If you have a lot of snow I would get them thru a company that can Sipe them. Cutting small slots in the tires will improve winter driving and help on slick rock too.

Depends on you'r location and use for them. Great tire, some road noise but much less than most comparable tires. Maintain obvious upkeep regularly, balance/rotate/pressure and they will last. Hard compound helps with that which leads into the location/use comment. Works well in dirt, sand, pebble, small rock mix on trails. The harder flat tire face has a little more trouble with slippery rock face, hard packed clay type dirt, etc. Does work if aired down but they are stiff. For an off road tire: Highway-Great.... Highway/Dirt Road-Great/Excellent.... Dirt Road/Light Trail/Field-Excellent.... Mild-Medium Trail from Lowlands to Foothills-Excellent/Great.... Higher Rockier Elevation Trails-Satisfactory/OK (depending on rock size and type along with weather conditions).... Extreme Trails/Rock Climbing/Extreme Mud-Pick A Better Tire.... Wet Loose Sand Type Mud-OK.... Clay Sand Mix Mud-OK/Satisfactory.... Mild to Medium Mud (standard top soil and loomey looking type)-Great.... Smal/Medium Pebble Material-OK/Satisfactory.... Beach-Sand-Great/Borderline Excellent.... Ice-Suck/Just OK.... Snow Light/Fluffy-Good/Ok.... Sleet/Snow Mix-Good/OK.... Deep Snow-No Personal Experience With This Brand/Model. These are personal opinions only and did not reference any tire reviews for this. This is also based on this tire size mounted on a H3T with modifications, weather conditions and personal experience with the above listed driving conditions. Some listed driving conditions have more logged time than others some less. No experience with this particular brand/model in medium-deep snow, winter long driving in a continous mix, etc. I stay home at the beach during the winter lol. They have great sidewalk tread that really does aid in
grip/clawing, wear well on the road, lower noise decibel than most comparable brand/models. I'm on my
second set and really satisfied with them for my use and they look damn good too lol. I'm not in the mud
as much anymore as in the past with previous vehicles/tires, if so then I might try a slightly more
aggressive mud type, but that's only if I played in deep soupy mud all the time as a posed to mixed use as I do now. Four 1/2 to five foot and deeper mud I'm on my ATV running 32" Silverbacks lol, I can run it in water over six feet :wink:. Which is why I haven't been as active with the T as much the past year or so lol along with acquiring a daily driver.



As I mentioned, this is just personal opinion based on personal experience during personal situations from one person to another :thumbs:

I will say one thing these tires in Moab had no problems on rock. They are every bit as good as the BFG km2's. They are a 10 ply tire and I ran them at 20 psi there. Could have gone lower. If I kept the tires on the ground I did not have to make a bunch of extra attempts. They made it up a few climbs that others did not make it up.

That's cool. I've mostly been on East Coast slick rock in mid winter conditions with them. Would love to get them and the T on some Moab rock.

I have been running these on my H3 and have worked great so far. They seem to be wearing well but I have kept up with the rotation every other oil change. I have taken them on mild trails and have performed great. No flats during ranch driving thanks to the 10 ply.
