    I wanted to get opinions on these tires from anyone with experience with them. There is a guy at work that wants to get rid of them for $125 a tire, they have 4,000 miles on them. I don't off-road at all, my main draw is the amount I drive in snow, going to and from the mountains to snowboard. Just a few questions are:

    How do they handle in the snow/wet roads?
    How are they with road noise?
    How is the wear with mostly highway driving?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    - Pete

    I'm pretty new here, but I've got these on my truck now and am going through a battle with the dealership about them. Long story short the tires are cupped terribly and make terrible noise. Even without the cupping the tires are the loudest and least smooth ride I've ever felt with a mud terrain. I'm not going to say they're a bad tire, but I definitely will never buy a set for myself.

    Too few to list.
    I've had the tires but not the size. Mud terrains suck in snow/rain as there are no sipping. Very loud as they are mud terrains and they don't last as long as all terrains. Mine were done at about 20K. They are exactly that, mud tires! Price isn't bad though.
