Wild Country XTX tires

Looking for feedback on the Wild Country XTX Sport, the newer tread design as shown in link below. I say "newer" tread design because I think they changed it in the last year or so:

Les Schwab Tire Centers - Your Performance Headquarters For Tires and Wheels

Nebraska Tire has them reasonably priced ($50/tire cheaper than Hankook ATM RF10's), but I'm looking for feedback. Not a daily driver, 95% highway, very little mud and gravel. These would be going on a 2000 F250 CC 4x4 V10.

Thoughts?
Thank you,
Pat

I never heard of them. Have you tried tire rack to see if they carry the tire. If they do they have reviews from ppl that have the tires.. I just bought the Transforce ATs for my truck and love them to death. The total came out to be $680 for everything. Hope this helps

I had the older design on an F250 4x4 and put 60k on them before selling the truck. Good traction in rain and snow, fair in mud. They were quiet until I hit 50k, then they got noisier as the tread got down.

My son has the newer design on his 2500 Suburban 4x4. He likes them.

I'm unfamiliar with Nebraska Tire, but very familiar with Les Schwabs. Les Schwab has good products, and backs them up very well.

unless you live in the North West, you probably have never heard of these as they are a Les Schwab brand. They typically copy Toyo tires tread patterns and are generally a good tire. I had 2 sets and got between 45 and 60K out of them. If your not worried about the name on the side wall, I say go for it.....Les Schwab offers free life time rotaion and balance. Also free flat repair on any tire. Even if you didn't buy it from them.....good service after the purchase goes a long way when looking at the bottom line on cost...

Bought a set of these last year. The tires now look flat spotted and out of round. (Were on a truck with antilock brakes). Have 5000-6000 miles on them. Would not buy again.
