Now that you've had these on your truck for a little while, any feedback on their performance? How's the treadwear? Road noise? Happy with them overall?

I have really liked them. They now have just over 40k on them and maybe have 3k left in them. Overall performance was good. My truck spends most of its time on the road or in the pipe yard. No really a hard core offroader with my 50k truck. But I do get off in the occasional mud hole and go to the beach a lot during summer. They did exactly what they were intended to do. Never got me stuck, never got a puncture, Tread wore fairly even over 40k, Easy to balance, Road noise is minimal for an M/T tire. NOTHING like mudgrapplers. They did good on hard beach sand but they bounced a little in the soft stuff in 2wd. My bro-in-law with trailgrapps did a lot better in the sand with his than I did. 4wd they pulled great.

So...... I did like them (not love) and would purchase again.

But..

I will be going with a different tire coming up soon. Just to mix things up and try something different. I have had 3 different sets of mudrapplers on 2 different trucks and these fuel tires. I might go with trailgrapplers next to see how I like them. Hoping for 37's though.

Thanks for the input! I was able to find one other review online where they said there was issues getting them balanced, but I'm guessing that with such an aggressive tread pattern, it can happen from time to time.

Glad to hear that they wear well and weren't too noisy...that was my main concern
