I've had mine on for about two months now and have put around 2,500 miles on them. So far I think they have been pretty good, they are about as loud as the factory BFG M/T's I had on. I haven't had them in any mud but they seemed to hold up on the rocks when I was on some trails in Colorado, I was really concerned about that because everyone kept talking about thin sidewalls. You can't beat the price and they are made by a reputable company. They were originally made by Goodyear, then Kelly and Dunlop, both of which Goodyear owns and I'm sure that's why they look so much like the Duratracs. Click image for larger version

Good luck on your purchase. By the way, I found my 35's online for $222 per tire plus shipping, the local Goodyear shop wanted almost $300 per tire but they negotiated down to $244 a tire when I told them what I could get them for. They ended up being about $5 more per tire when you add in shipping, so it's worth checking around and asking local stores to be negotiable. Also, I've seen several people on the forum running these tires and I haven't really heard anyone complaining about them, so don't let the lack of response be a deterrent. I'm not sure why you didn't get a bunch of responses. Usually when you bring up tires a bunch of people start chimming in and it ends up being a huge debate about who thinks what is best.

I don't know anyone running them on a JK but knew a guy that wheeled the snot out of em on a zuki. He was the K in STaK 4x4. You know, the 3 speed transfer case guys. I wheeled with him on several occasions and he had no tire issues that I know of.
