    Mine? No.
    As @RelentlessFab pointed out, most rubbing can be properly mitigated with a ford tool.

    Good, I'm fine with that. Just want to avoid cutting and welding if I don't have to

    Cab mount chop required.
    Don't be scared of cutting and welding. There is a whole world beyond bolt on bullshit.

    I burn through gas, tires, brakes, and points on my record.

    It's alright I guess

    Walked outside to a flat tire. Hadn't driven the truck in over a week. Sidewall just split for no reason. I seriously hate these tires.

    Bought a cooper STT Pro as a replacement and spare for now. Beadlocks are great but definitely not the most fun thing to work on. Took about an hour to break the old bead off and mount the new tire. Just needs to be balanced.

    Helpful videos for those curious about the process:

    I went through 10 of those between my old truck and the expo trailer. They wear fast but great tire. Trying out something new once the other 4 crap out

    Worst fucking tire I have ever owned for the conditions I wheel. IMO they are only suited to hardpack dirt. They are the best tire I have ever owned in that reguard.

    But god help you with rain, ice, snow, or dry rocks. My cheap piece of shit RT03's wheeled circles on slick rock over these MTRs.

    I need something a little more versatile for my location and wheeling style.

    Can't wait for another credible STT pro review. I hope your current set all fall apart this weekend.

    Part of me wants the rest of my MTRs all to fuck off and die as well. But the cheap bastard in me says I don't wanna spend $1200 more to replace them just yet considering I have half tread still.

    I'll make a hell of a deal to anyone that wants my MTRs, but it's not high on my priority list.

    huh. I find them great in the rocks.

    No doubt, they are down right scary in the snow/ice. Rain, eh..nothing great.

    But its a MT..

    I have seen and read many good things on the STT Pro though. Pretty nice lookin tire for sure.

    Last trip to Moab my wife kept asking why certain trucks had problems on obstacles with the same lines and nearly identical trucks. Everyone that had issues had MTRs.
    I realize it's subjective and not everyone wheels the same way. But for me, I hate them.

    I have not wheeled in Moab with them. But up in the mountains on those rocks..do great.

    Slickrock is surprising they don't do well. Huh. odd.

    Well the Coopers are the new best thing. KM3s around the corner.
