Which Foteras where they? We just had Fotera TripleTread tires put on my mom's 4Runner. Another set will be going on the S-10.

They're still great! I've got no traction problems; they still look like new! No balance issues either, I just got them rotated for free at Goodyear.

Oh yeah, they're just as quiet as the bald Michelins that I had just before I bought them.

I cant wait to get rid of my yoka's, im going for some goodyear wrangler mud terr. I love my yoka's but jesus they wear down so freaking fast and iv prob got less than 20k left on them and they've only seen about an hour worth of offroad use. I paid way too much for these damn things and it kills me to drive them on pavement so i wanna get rid of them so i can actually get some goodyears which is what i wanted to start with but the yoka's were on sale so yea...

I love my mud terrains. They did a great job this past winter. Never really got stuck at least by accident. I did get stuck tackling a 4ft snow mound but that was all in good fun. The road noise isn't bad unless you have the windows down. Then you can hear them roar. But over my exhaust its kinda hard. And for mud IMO they did amazing. Tried to get stuck in soupy mucky mud in 2wd. Couldn't pulled right out no questions.
