Yeah, they are quite on the road and do awesome in the mud and just above par for the snow. BUT, remember that there are tons of different kinds of mud and snow so it depends where you live.

And just an oberservation from back when I was wheelin' with my 4x4 Nissan PU. Power isn't everything. Sometimes you can make it amazing places with a soft pedal and planning. But sometimes you just have to skinny pedal it!

These trucks are just to heavy for what I was attempting. If I was in my old 03 f150 on 38.5 boggers there wouldnt have been a problem.

No, just small thunderstorms here last night, but 50 miles south of us got tornados wed morning.

The hankooks are decent. I have had them about 30K now, and the wear is great, the ride is O.K., bout all you can expect from a mud tire.

I had to take mine back the day after I got them and they had to swap one tire out cause it was to far out of round to balance correctly. While not an E rated tire they do have a decent weight rating. I ran the discoverers a few years back and could not keep them balanced. Next set will be Toyo's.

I'm going to try them the next set. Since I really dont go off road that much anymore, I may try the AT's, but that is at least a year from now.
