They are not good for anything but sand, they SUCK on the road, wet or dry, they are soft and wear extremely fast, I wouldn't be suprisied if you only got 10-15K out of a brand new set under the weight of a diesel. I'd pass on them.

I had some and they blow, the tread comes off they are hard to balance. If you are at the beach they work great if you are in mud make sure you have a strap in your truck. The only good thing is that they make a truck look mean.
