So did my passenger. Scary when your wipers really just expose more snow...ha!
They came in jsut about as meaty...bigger lugs tho...that was my decider...

....see if I can figure out pic posting code....or, look at my albums
I was looking at them because I liked how aggresive they looked but after reading tons of reviews a lot said the sidewall is weak at highway speeds it tends to make the vehicle sway. I cant have a weak side wall with everything I haul and the amount of time I spend on rocky terrain I better go with something that I know is good. Plus where I got my tires from they didnt have any. Btw looked at your pic hauling pellets I was laughing cause ill never forget when my dad showed up last year with a ton of pellets in the back of his jeep grand cherokee lol Ill have to find the pic lol

Found it!! 50 bags @ 40lb each

No I haven't had any problems out of mine. Just goodyear aligned my truck and did a horrible job and the front tires wore in about 3 weeks. If that had not happended I think i could have got atleast 25,000 mile out of them. I think they are great though.

Mud terrains are sweet but if you do a lot of road driving they wear down fast. We had about 4 inch last weekend but now we dont have crap. I wish we got the snow that ontario canada got.

I hate that yesterday going up the mountain the roads were a little bit wet in places but nothing bad the whole way up the mountain doing 30mph when its a posted 55mph limit (i do like 65-70 lol) It like come on if you cant even drive in this then you shouldnt be driving at all.

Yeah come to Vermont and follow all the hippies in their subaru wagons goin 30 on the highway. It'll make you want to punch babies.

At my girlfriends house up here in Vermont, we've gotten about 2.5ft since last weekend.
Pretty normal for up here though...
