What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
25/100From 19 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptional off-road traction in mud, sand, dirt, and snow
- Good overall value and pricing compared to premium competitors
- Surprising durability and wear characteristics for a mud-terrain tire
- Lower than expected road noise for an aggressive tread pattern
Cons
- Severe balancing difficulties and out-of-round issues causing highway vibrations
- Subpar wet weather and rainy road performance
- Tire noise increases noticeably as the tread wears down
Worth knowing
- Users running larger dimensions, such as 33x12.5R22, reported prominent balancing and out-of-round issues.
- Owners of heavier trucks like Ford F-250s and older daily-driven 4x4s like the Ford Bronco praised their heavy-duty hauling capability and off-road reliability.
