    Thoughts now that you've installed them? I'm due for a new set before winter as my Terra grapplers are spent. These AT51s have a nice price point!

    Seem great so far. Not loud at highway speed and handle real good. They were stiff at first but only because Discount Tire put 36 psi in them; I dropped it down to about 31-32 and now they are much smoother. I'd say go for it. Hopefully they will wear well; gonna rotate every 5k

    Thanks for the update. Rotating is key...I didn't pay attention with my grapplers and my fronts have worn on the outer edge more quickly than the rears.

    I just had these put on my wife's truck. So far she loves them; says they're quite, ride is great. Plus I got a $120 rebate, which by the way is still good through the end of October.

    Just ordered a set of 305's for the winter drive to Alaska. Rebate still good. I don't suppose anybody has had a chance to test them in snow yet? Hoping they live up to the (snow) hype.

    @metrick1215 I've had them for about 3k miles, so far so good - no complaints. They grab great in the dirt and the highway ride is smooth and fairly quite for a semi-aggressive all-terrain.

    @FATaco We've only had a little dusting so far in the Denver metro area, but I think I'm going to hit some light trails up at higher elevation this weekend where there is snow; I'll report back if I do

    Logged almost 5k so far. Very quiet which is to be expected. They ride very smooth and the tread has opened up just a bit from use and looks slightly more aggressive meow. I still get super jelly when I see mud terrains....maybe next time. So far they do just great in the snow.

    Good to hear that they have good traction in the snow. I agree about MT! They just look a tad bigger. Oh well my truck sees mostly pavement so MTs would just go to waste

    Finally have been getting some good snow here in CO and the tires have been excellent. On snow covered roads and deep slush, the tires have no problem getting traction. They've been working so great that I haven't even used 4wd yet.
