I had a set on an 01.5. They are apparently a fairly soft rubber as I only got about 25k out of them using nitrogen and proper rotations.

the trxus m/t's are great tires, but you'll be needing a new set every 20,000 miles or so.

I had a buddy go through a real headache with those TrXus M/T's, pulling the GN with just 2 horses in the trailer he had a sidewall blowout, if it wasn't for him driving like Mario Andretti, he would have killed those horses no doubt. I ended up having to drive out to Ohio to pick up his trailer and horses to get them back, and he had to replace a wheel, tire, and bedside (it was that torn up).

I haven't been able to wrangle one of those 2 horses back onto a trailer again, lol.

But, I forgot to add, I'm seriously considering a set of 315's for my truck with the Bighorns, seems like quite a few guys are running the old Buckshot mudders, so I would think the Bighorns are gonna be even better.

Those Trxus M/Ts are a really good running tire but best in the winter... awesome in snow and ice. But they are very soft and will be gone in 20k.
