Not personally, but a few guys in my hunting club have/had them. Average life is somewhere in the upper 20s to 30,000 miles. Also the only tire I've ever heard in my life louder than Interco Super Swampers! Which is really nice or really bad, depending on who you are. Fantastic off-road tire, WHEN they have tread!

Got two friends who are twin brothers, late twenties in age, whose parents bought them matching Furd F250 diesel 4x4s for their 25th birthday a few years back who both have them and love 'em. They are hard on their trucks and put a good bit of highway miles on them a year, probably 15-18k miles and get a new set every year before hunting season.

DodgeNitto had them and got real good life out of his, but most with this tire don't...

Mine have right at 10k on them and just starting to show signs of wear, they are noisy, but a great offroad tire!

Just put 35x12.5 grapps on my ram and can only say they are awesome. Dont know anything about milage cause I have only 300 miles on them but look amazing and do better than any tire I have used offroad.
