    I'm about ready for second rotation so I don't have a tread depth today. I can get you one. They hold rocks bad. Like you can't pick stones fast enough. Starting to see dry rot cracks in bottom of tread.

    With that said, they wear very well, or slow. Have good traction on snow, mud. Hold air great. Seem to hold up well to road debries. I have not had one flat repair and dig all kinds of crap out of them. Fuel milage is better than lower tier tire and almost a Michelin. Still think there is a slight vibration to them, but nothing like Chinese tires. They will last 2 to 3 times longer then Roadmasters.

    First few 32nds had little choppy wear. But its a tall lug and settled down.

    31/32nds new.


    Keep good shocks on them and wheel bearings tight they are good. I do use tru balance pins.

    Maybe get half fenders to stop the rock slinging.

    In the end I'm very happy with them

    If i remember ill get you a depth measurement and cost per mile next service. I willing to bet they are still 50% at 100k.

    I have a slight vibration at 45-55 when heavy. Everything else has been changed. But 70-85 is smooth as glass.

    Her recovery is going fine, but I’m afraid the surgery wasn’t a success as far as I know; it’s nothing life threatening at least, more of a hindrance; thanks for asking young buck

    Nope "War Eagle" read the small print. They were ordered to destroy it due to how ugly it was.
