| I picked these up last Friday from Discount Tire for $175 each...$925 out the door including replacement warranty. Then headed to URE on Saturday to test them out. For the 1 hour 45 minute ride there was no noticable road noise and zero vibration at speeds upwards of 80 mph. Upon arrival at URE, we aired down to 18psi and hit the trails. My first impression is very good. There was little to no slippage on any of the rocks and/or clay climbs. I tackled some tougher obstacles than I normally would with no hesitation and they performed flawlessly. Had a few places that made use of the sidewalls and no marks to show for it. I really like the aggressive look but they are certainly no MT. Future posts as mileage builds...  | |

| My friend recently put those on his Rubicon and has nothing but positive things to say about them. They are a great looking AT tire, very aggressive looking sidewalls. Keep us posted as you rack up some mileage. | |

| I just bought a set of 285/70/17's in these for 725 mounted balanced and tire certificates.
Sold my KM1's for 400$ for a grand total tire price of 325.
First impressions are quiet... Man i forgot how quiet the 4runner is.
Second impression is still to come... discount tire broke a few of my wheel studs so I havent been able to drive too much on them.
Good news is since they broke my wheel studs I decided to order a full set of 24 studs and lug nuts to replace them all at once. In the process I ordered a new set of wheels and will be able to toss out the spacers. | |

They left a few lug nuts loose causing me to have 5 broken wheel studs. Went back and the manager cut me 30% off. | |
