    Pros:

    • Great feel on road/highway (much better then Duratracs and quieter)

    • Super good aggressive traction in strait line

    • Small foot print for squeaking by obstacles

    • Great 1" of lift/clearance for the money (only high sided once yesterday)

    • Fit great and I haven't trimmed anything

    Cons:

    • Feel squirrely at 30+ mph on sandy trails (just something I need to get used to)

    • Truck needs new gears now (I already drove fast/aggressive so I feel like a snail now)

    • Horrible lateral slide on off camber sand trails and into ruts - this will be an issue when it snows or if I hit deep ruts
    • so far on 3 tanks of gas I lost 2mpg (new gears will correct and I need to get used to driving it so that will change)
    • OD is now a waste of a gear unless on flat highway
    • need to fix spedo so it's accurate


    All in all I'm very happy. The only issue I was trying to correct with these tires was high-siding and the 1" added clearance is huge.



    The only 'con' I'm not happy with and wasn't expecting is the lateral sliding. They slide into ruts like no other and also slide on hard pack sand which I was not expecting at all. Once I took a good look at the tread I understand why (meant to go forward not sideways), but this could be an issue on slippery wet rocks/clay/snow/sand/mud.



    Some pics from last night on mellow trail where I slipped at least 6-10" sideways.
