Just had them installed. Aggresive looking tire that isn't loud at all... at least I can barely hear them above the Cummins clatter... hehe

Kore

i looked at those tires but decided against them...please report back on how you like them.

 

yeah all i've heard about the dirt grips are that the tread life sucks horribly...We opted against them because the maximum miliage we heard of was 45 thousand miles....Very nice looking tire, but bad miliage...Please do report in with your expieriance...

If I get 45,000 miles outta these monsters, I'll be whistling dixie!!!

I've only got about 20miles so far... I'll keep you posted... Seriously, I'd be happy with 30,000.

 

I agree, almost any aggressive tread will wear considerably faster than street treads. It is not so much they are worn out, but rather worn uneven (35's + need carefull attention) or worn past the point they do the work they were intended and designed to do (usually a softer rubber compound). I usually change my all terrains and mudders at or before 35,000. I could get more, but since I actually use my truck off road I want "good" rubber in the rocks and mud.

 

yeah if i ever got 30k out of a set of tires, i'd be happy!

 

Yeah, if I could get even 30K miles out of my BFG 315 KO's I'd be tickled pink!

 

65k on my 37 in BFG MT's...food for thought.

 

Alright Darnit!! Who's posting about PJ's and not telling me!!!!!
(jest kiddin')

But seriously though, I've heard good and bad. I've heard under 30k, and forcefed88 said he has a friend that tows overweight more than not towing and he's gotten almost 50k outta them??????????

I swear I'm just gonna get these suckers and be done with it.

Hey Trik396,
Dude, please keep me posted on all aspects of the tires. I'm especially interested in the wear and snow grip since you are in Chicago. I'd say, while you get way more snow than we do in Maryland, the snow itself might be about the same composition. Beautiful at first, light fluffy stuff, that turns horribly miserable and wet, and icy and did I say miserable. Yea!!!
Oh, you best believe I'm subscribed to this thread!

Well, I've got over 1000 miles on them now. Nothing really to report, which is a good thing. No wear that I can see. They are louder than I first mentioned, but nothing terrible. Lately I've been driving with the windows all open and I don't hear em' much over the traffic and my Cummins. I'll keep ya posted as to the winter stuff... I'm sure they'll be better than what I had originally... Chicago winters are sometimes bad. It's nice at first with all the pretty snow, but after awhile, so much salt has been spread on the roads, and there's nothing but black slush.... ugly...

 

trik396,
Right, Dude, I'm with ya. One of the best sights as a kid growin' up in the city was the snow, the worst was the same snow a couple days to a week later. Nasty, partially frozen black muck, with bucket sized frozen chunks and deep ruts. And now, as we get older it’s funny how the words “black ice” can make us sweat at the mere mention of it.

These are just some of the reasons why I need a good off-road tire, despite the fact I'll never go "off-road". And it’s not like I don’t know what off-roadn’ is. From dirt bike racing to rescuing lost souls at the local mud pit with my 80' Bronco. I mean, everyday driving can be as demanding as off-roadn’ sometimes. Heck, I wish I had the time to air down to 10 psi and crawl into and out of some of the pot holes I hit at full psi going 25-40 mph. You cringe, try to avoid it, even slow down, and WHUMPKERTHUNKRATTLE, and think “that can't be good”. And what about RR tracks. I travel over a set that caused a knuckleheads front tire to snap off the axle because he thought he had a A-1 Abrams, I was witness and almost ****** myself laughing. City driving for me is harsh, and the counties in bad weather can be fatal. At least with “Off-Roading”, you are more in control and usually don't have to worry about other people inadequacies. Now please, don't get me wrong, I am not saying the two are the same and that one is worse than the other, I'm just saying, give another member his due. On-Road driving can be just as demanding on the tires we use, right.

My idea is, if I put a real "off-road" tire on there that's built for more adventurous driving, then I should be prepared for anything the city has to offer, and, also be ready for that day I grow up and can be trusted off-road.

 

Well, gents, I did it, I bit the bullet, finally!

I ordered the Pro Comp Extreme All Terrains, 35" x 12.5" R17.
$1,063. Out the door, locally.

Should have them installed this Friday, if I can take off.
Should have pics for ya'll on Monday.

I want to thank all of you that helped me make the decision.
I'm not cheap, but I hate spending money for something unless
it's really really worth it. I think I'm getting a great tire at a
great price. I hope it can live up to my demands and expectations.

I bit the bullet this morning too: four Toyo MT in 37x13.5R17E from Chicago to my front door for $1146... local tire shop wanted over $1600 to do the deed!

 

Fruitman hope you like those Pro comp's I hated mine they were shot in 19000 miles they were the mud terrain's though..

 

Thats a sweet price!
