My cousin put them on his truck and had good luck with them I'm going to get them as soon as my tires wear out.

My buddy ran BFG A/T's from there. They don't last quiete as long but at the price diff they are worth it. He's gonna get some from there again next time he needs tires.

I have the warden a/t in 285/65/18. They are about 50% tread with 20k miles on them. They have been good but not as smooth riding as a new tire. I did have to replace one of them last week. It developed a bulge in the sidewall. Treadwright wouldn't warranty it but most tire companys won't unless you buy the road hazzard warranty. Overall I am happy with them and would recommend them if you're in a tight spot but if you have the money get a set of new tires.

After shipping I paid $700 for mine. Discount tire direct has Nitto terragraplers (same size as mine) on ebay for $928 free ship. Thats what I'll be getting next time.

My little brother has them on his cherokee and they have been good for him, Two of my other buddys have them also, one on a jeep JK and one on a Samurai, we all go rock crawling together and their tires dont have any more or less damage then my "regular" tires on my Samurai. However i would be a bit more cautious when you put them on a much heavier vehicle.

Only thing I would run them on is a farm truck that had a flat bed. And only on the back
