Interco's TrXus M/T tire....

hey guys, does anyone have any experiance with the TrXus M/T tire that interco puts out. I remember test driving a cummins about 2 yrs ago with them on it and i loved em, for the 15 min. i drove it. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever run them or know someone who has and what kind of mileage you got out of a set of them. Heres a picture with sizing so you know which tire im referring to

i like them cause theyre not overly agressive lookin , and they are supposed to me as interco puts it "magical on snow and ice" which is good in IOWA

I had some on my truck for about 100 miles and over 200.00 dollars in trying to get them balanced sent them back for a full refund if they had 90% tread left they said they were at 89% but still gave me full refund dont see them lasting that long

well, never mind those then!

My brother has them on a 1/2 ton ferd. He has been running them for 4 or 5 years now. They are starting to get bald though. I am not sure how many miles he has on them though. He really likes them in the mud and they are OK in the snow and ice.

I ran a set of them and I really liked em.

They do wear fast, I would plan on 20K or maybe a bit less that way if you get 30k you'll be excited.

Just for referance the last set I ran was the TOYO MT. Ran them for 55K and measured just a bit less than 1/2 tread left. 21/32 new @ 55K 9-10 32's left.

Back to the Truxxus. They run really quiet and ride nice. If that's the way you choose to go I'm sure you will be happy untill they wear out.
One thing you can do to help them wear a bit better is get them sipped and rotate rotate rotate, I mean allot.
