Ill start by saying I've been running these tires awhile now and i absolutely love them! But they arent a real widely known or commonly used tire. The brand that makes them is gt radial, a mexican brand from what i've heard. If you arent real discriminatory towards where they're made they are a great option to consider when shopping for mud terrains. I have them in a 33x12.50 and i got them at a tire shop in washington state for 775$ brand spankin new! I have maybe 5k on them and no complaints so i thought maybe i'd write a little bit of a review on them.

They look great,which is always nice, and they are very highway friendly. I have noticable whine, but its easy to tune out, even without radio and doesnt disupt conversation at a normal level. In fact, the engine is much louder since i've done the deckplate mod.

They have worn very well, i havent even noticed any at all so far and have balanced great. The tire shop that put them on said they sucked to balance initially but they are fine now. Absolutely NO vibration. I have rotated them twice (every oil chance) and they are doing great.

As for traction so far i couldn't be happier. Onroad they are way better than i thought they would be, no hydroplaning or sliding. Here was a weekend when we had a terrible ice storm and the roads were totally glazed. I could accelerate as hard as i wanted in 4wd and the traction would not break, though if i turned sharply i could feel the truck fishtail slightly which was to be expected with roads that bad. I could hardly walk across the ice thats how bad it was. In mud they do as what a good mud tire should do, grab and throw chunks of mud. I havent been close to stuck yet and am truely impressed with them. They dont throw rocks either as i thought they might. I havent aired them down at all yet, since i havent ever needed to, but they are rated for light trucks and suv's, so i assume the sidewall is pretty soft.


I would have to compare them to km2's based on what i have heard! But i will admit they are the first mud tires i've ever owned. Even so, they have done everything i want them to and more. I just figured i'd share them with everyone and maybe open an option for someone as they arent widely advertised at all.

 

im thinking about getting these also...super cheap so i was a bit skeptical. how are they holding up? what's the wear like? how many miles on them? got any close ups? do they affect mpg?

 

They are holding up pretty good. I have maybe 10k on them and they're wearing great. I've rotated them every oil change. Obviously they took hit on my mileage since they're 33's and I have stock gears. I get 17 mpg max in the summer and maybe 13-14 in the winter. But I put a lot of miles on gravel roads and in town. I can get a couple more pics for ya. Only bad thing is they do howl a bit, but not too bad (stereo drowns it out) and they look like they might have a little weather checking going on between the lugs.

 

They had these tires here for 500 bucks out the door at a Punjabi shop. They do a lot of advertising on Craig's list with these. I know a couple of people running these. They never went back to it, wears out to fast and it gets pretty loud. But for the price.... Good deal.

 

sounds about right...they go for a little over a buck each.
