I don't know if they would even do a group buy with how cheap the tires already are. If they do then don't mention it on here, because I already bought mine and that would suck.

 

they only carry / make up to a 33......kinda sucks bc im on 35's now and if i went with their tires i would have to go a bit smaller.....decisions decisions decisions

 

I know this is 2nd gen ram but I have these tires on my 04 and I'm impressed!! Great tire a little loud on the road but nice tires and will be buying another set when these wear out. Have about 25000 on them now no signs of unusual wear.

 

Ok I have family telling me they think its a super bad idea for me to buy these. Some willing to help convince them there wrong? They are older and used to ****ty retreads.

 

let them read this thread of posts about them and i think they will change their mind. i also found a thread about them on the jeep forum and its also nothing but positive posts and replies to the tires.

 

I bought five Warden 265/75R16s back in late November.
$558.90 shipped to BFE Montana.
The fifth one is my spare. I was running on my spare at the time I bought these tires and it was an odd size (235/85 or something like that). The previous BFG Land Terrains were also 265/75R16. The wardens rub in the front on full lock turns, but especially on rough or bumpy turns.

I've driven them through snow on mountain roads going 20-30MPH cliffside with no issues at all. They slide in snow when you gun it in 2WD, though
I've gone through mud and rivers. No traction issues and they throw water very well. I have never gotten stuck with these tires. I haven't encountered really sticky/boggy mud, though. Mainly just soup consistency. I'll try the mud again next time I go up the mountain.

The shop that mounted and balanced them didn't comment on them, so I'm not sure if they were difficult or not. The spare does have a rather large weight on it, though.
Also, the new spare DOES NOT fit under the bed. It hits the exhaust.
Another thing to note: these tires are heavy. Much heavier than my old ones. If I remember correctly the shipping weight was like 56lbs per tire unmounted.

As for treadwear, I don't have a depth gauge. I put a nickel in the spare (never used), Jefferson's head down. The tread came up to the bottom of his chin.
I then did the same to my rear and front tires on the driver's side and the tread came to his lips.
I have gone 5000-6000 miles on these tires, with a good portion of that being on non-paved roads.
The tires have held 60-65PSI each time I check them.
Overall I am satisfied with the price and quality of these tires.

 

About 2 weeks ago I bought a set of the 265/75/R16 Howlers off of TreadWright for my 98' Ram 1500. They came very fast and put on the sidewalls I requested. As far as i can tell they are quality made retreads. I will post some pictures as soon as it warms up outside. They only problem i seem to have is that when I crank the wheel making a right turn they rub slightly on my control arm. Nothing a set of offset rims wont fix though. That being said so far im am very happy with my purchase.

 

If you have the adjustable stops on your steering knuckles then you can crank them out a turn or two and it should make the control arm rubbing stop.
