been running these in a 32 now for awhile and in the 31's on a ranger never had a problem till now thought. I was out in some sand and the sidewall split. I could not believe it. what a waste. I then talked to a budy who said he was at a shop recently and found that the tech tire guy said he could not stand them cause they are entirely known to blow sidewalls.
Ive also almost chucked some lugs from the last rock wheeling trip. You can see some splits on the base of the lugs. Not good for me. I think I am going to sell them off for some trxxus mt's.
Anyone else have input on tehse tires good or bad as I would like for otheres to be informed. I did just reccomend these to another friend who bought them and is now thinking that it was a bad idea. Maybe it was just dumb luck for me. who knows thanks

I've never had a problem with mine, except for the fact that one of them won't balance. I've got lots of miles on them and they're lasting great. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do as much wheeling as I'd like.

You are airing them down when four wheeling right?

Balances all other tires beautifully. I can even do road force measurements and measure rim variation. It'll tell me how for to turn the tire on the rim to get the best balance. It's just this one tire that won't balance. I don't feel any vibration going downt he road either. When my wife drives the truck and I drive behind I can see the one tire wobble. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

yeap. tough to balance, typically requires a lot of weight on the inside of the wheel.
my MTs ride ok but do provide a fair amount of vibration on pavement at certain speeds.

I did. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
I made the guy take his POS tires somewhere else. I didn't want to own them for trying to do him a favor.
