Yeah when I was 15 I thought how cool they looked then soon realized by the time I got a truck.. from word of mouth they are the most horrible swamper/ off road type tire out.

There was a reason, I soon realized at a young age reading my fourwheeler magazines every month that guys never had them on their rigs in there. But guys on the street around did. Hrm. Looked cool atleast to them but obviously liked riding around town on them more. But horrible.

If your driving the truck on the road a lot, just get a regular mt you start goin for looks and swampers your goin to have a rough ride. Trust me.

I have to agree with everyone else. My buddy had them on his lifted jeep,they look cool but perform terrible! It was like driving on ice in the rain, in the mud they would get packed and not clean up at all,and on the street would never balance out. Get some tsl ssr's or something along them lines. I ran them on my lifted ranger and I thought they were a great tire.

This thread is hilarious!! Everyone is right. They suck. Bought a jeep once that had 33's on it. I took it out once just for fun with them on before I took them off and put on 36" TSL's. I use to take my F150 w/ 33x12.50 Cooper Discoverer AT's through a hole in 2wd, went through same hole in the jeep on the Birds... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH It was a JOKE. Wait... I shouldnt say I WENT through the same hole, I should say, I TRIED to go through it... Better description.
