I have them on my F250, I'm not sure if it would be a realistic comparison since mine are load range 'E' and yours are probably a 'P Metric' but I'll share what I've experienced so far. I like these tires a lot, they handle great on pavement without being too noisy, they work great in wet ( rain) and they work excellent in the snow. I haven't gotten them buried in mud so I can't comment on that but I would expect them to not do too well in that environment. The tread seems to wear nice and even, I have about 10K on mine and I don't see any heavy wear.

I'd compare these to the BFG A/T's any day and take them over the BFG's just because they are quieter on the highway.

I am going to have them mounted in a bout an hr. I put new shocks on the explorer last night and getting these on today. Man where my shocks shot. I have noticed a world of a difference in the ride already.. I do like bfg's but they were $70 more per tire. I will save that $280 for something else.

So I had tires mounted yesterday, I so far I am very pleased with them they have a very light highway noise, I did take them off road, from sand to mud to rocks and the seem to get great traction. Although they are new time will tell how they stand up. Just though I would give my opinion on they.
