Yes I Did. If A Deal Fell On My Lap Like That I Would Take Em' and I'd Be The One Sayin' I LOVE EM, or These Things Suck! But For The Price Its Not Worth The Risk. I Am Giving It Until My Lift Comes In (Thursday - Recieved My Tracking Number Today) ThenI Will Force Myself In Buying Tires. So This Whole Week I'll Be Lookin For Tire Steals Until I Figure Out Exactly What I Want.

And As I Said I Am Having Buyers Remorse On My Forged Wheels.. I Really Want Black.

There is another Pro Comp discussion going right now on another forum I'm on (of course I had to post MY opinion there as well), here is the jist of it.

"I bought a set of Xterrains for mytruck and had nothing but problems. Drifting, front end shakes & severe tire wear. I pulled them off after 15k with very little tread left. I've had issues with them in the past.. I know better than to buythem, but a lot of people have them and recommended them.The place I boughtthemwouldn't even think about replacing them, even with the warranty."

So this basically goes to show ya' for every guy who says "I have had mine for a zillion miles and they still look like new" you can find one like the guy above.
They do perform quite well off-road, when you have tread, but too many guys I personally know (not just read posts from) have had them go bald in no time.

However, I'm not really trying to bash them, just share a little knowledge, so in all fairness, I'll paste another response that was in the same thread...

"Contact Pro Comp directly. A friend of mine had almost 20,000 on his Pro Comp M/Ts and the same problem as you. Bad cupping issues and no useable tread left. He contacted them and ended up getting a COMPLETELY NEW set delivered to his house for free. They even forgot to pickup his old ones"

So maybe there is hope for you yet, Greggie...

Enough of a debate on those tires, like I've said, I run with a bunch in GA. who think my Cepek's are "girly tires" so I've not personally known anyone with the A/T version. But I HAVE SEEN bald M/T's with my own eyes, owned by friends who have bought theirs since I bought mine. I HAVE SEEN baldX-Terrains with 18k on them. As I stated above, if you look hard enough, you can find at least one guy with a bad Pro Comp experience for every one with a good one. Like I have said, maybe the A/T's are a different compound and wear better on pavement. So let's table this for now, and we'll re-visit the subject when yours have 20-25k on them, shall we?

Sweet. I Have An Idea That Will Help TD, Hammer, and Me (and Anyone Looking At This Thread For Input). Do You Guys Have A Tire You Agree Have Worn Well, Drive Well (key 99.9%), Yet Aggressive Enough To Feel Comfotable Offroad - That The Liking Is Actually Mutual?!?!

I was a pro comp hater when I got them and like I said, I figured they'd be done in 30k... after all the miles & off roading the past 2 years, I am an advocate for them. they rock. you guys can say what you want, but speaking directly with someone who has them is going to be the best word that you can get. I used to hate pro comp, I love this tire.
