I know this is a two year old post, but what the heck? They are my favorite tires so far. A little loud with an almost annoying hum between 45 and 50 mph. I have 305-70-16's and they handle fairly well on the street for an aggressive mud terrain. My reg cab Dak ran 15.6's in the quarter before my lift and 33's. That said, I have to be careful with these tires in the rain as I think they break loose too easy. Maybe that's just because of my truck. On dirt roads with road bond and rocks, if I take a curve too fast the back end wants to slide around. I attribute that to the 23 degree lugs of directional tread. On dry pavement I think they do pretty good traction wise. They do have a softer compound than most mud tires. The cool factor is best thing. I've only had them a month and a half and people ask on the street give me a thumbs up all the time. "Cool tires, man!", "Them look goood!". I get comments all the time at gas stations and parking lots. I think a tire is extremely cool when you get as many comments as I have. I really don't think I'd get near the comments If I had bought buckshots or BF Goodrich muds if you know what I mean. Off road they sling mud like crazy and rock crawl really good, too. My tire man thought the truck looked so cool with 'em that he had to take a picture of my truck.
