    I'll take your word for it. It does look like they would get better traction in one direction than the other, which would make one side of the truck get more traction than the other, which doesn't seem like a good thing to me. But then I've never run them so I'm just guessing based on observations of other tires. :notsure:

    :D

    Don't get me wrong, they are a nice lookin' tire. Probably great if you drive on the highway a lot as well as wheeling. Unfortunately, that is one of the limitations of most Interco tires...they are made from a soft compound that wears faster than other tires.

    Anyway, I wonder what would happen if you did run those Mt/Rs all turned the same way (aside from looking bizarre)? Might be an interesting experiment to see if there's a noticeable difference in the behavior and traction of the truck.
