315/75/R16 OWL Trail buster tires

Does anyone have any experience with these tires?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Pretty set on getting a set of these tires on my truck.. anyone ever heard of them? I was told they were made by a larger brand (possibly bfg). I go through tires like crazy so I might as well buy "cheap" ones..

The seller has good feedback.. What do you guys think?

Bobcat,
Not sure about the tires, but did you see the freight rates? Those seem a little excessive to me. Are you saving anything by buying the tires, paying for shipping and then probably having to pay someone to mount them? Just thinking out loud.

The cheapest set of 35" (315) tires on TireRack is about $640 shipped to me, then I pay mounting and balancing. So figure about $700 when all is said and done.
The total with shipping is $531.. so figure close to $600 mounted and balanced.. About $100 savings compared to Dunlop radial rovers..

did you get the overstock/blems? any noticable defects on them? what brand/size did you get? I'm going to be ordering some in pretty quick (need to find someone in the US to hold them until I can drive down and pick them up)

They are brand new tires.
They were purchased from a Cooper warehouse that was closing.
Talk to Roger at Nebraska Tire.
