Yeah used them seem good... bought them secondhand and still using them... dunno how many miles they had on them before so can't really give mileage figures.

Good grip onroad for a muddy (directional after all). Much better clearing the mud than the BFG's too.

Supposed to have poor mileage capability but on a light 4by on big rubber that's really a non issue. They were also bought secondhand with one having been spiked by a branch... that probably wouldn't have happened with the BFG's although the owner of the Geo's had been running down to obscenely low tyre pressures so that may have helped cause the puncture.

Better grip than my BFG muddies in all conditions... in some ways that's cheap safety and performance.

However the new price for these is normally pretty scary... so check out the prices of some other stuff like Wrangler M/TR's and Silverstone 117EX and similar.

I used them 35/12.5R15's for about 18 months.
Bought second hand in relatively good nic and did about 7000kms on them. Very good offroad in mud and bagged really well on rocks and not to shabby on the road either. They were even quieter than the B'stone Muddies i had the time before these but the big draw back is the wear rate :shock: they go fast, and if you are using them hard like I did if it wasn't for the price i'd go them again.
