My bro runs them and absolutely love them. They excel in almost everything cept for slimy or gummy mud. He's always made it through just might need two or three bumps

Have these tires on my wife's liberty, and a good friend runs these on their JK

They are a great tire for most terrains, and awesome in the snow and on sand; where they don't work quite as well in deeper mud or on the rocks.

Default they run small

I had this tire for a short while and traded for Goodyear mtr. They are a great tire but run small. The 35 I had measured 33.25.

Same here. (325/80/16's)

Great performance so far (no mud or rocks yet), and even though this is a different size than you are looking at, mine were $100+ less per tire than the other 37" options.

My only complaint with them is that, coming from a more aggressive tread, they look kinda wimpy.

These are great tires that run well on rocks. They are not good in mud. I'm running 315/70R17 and they run small, 33.5 . They seem to wear well, about 1/8" in 25K miles. They are also quiet. Great price on the tires too.

I run the Peaks on my F150 4X4 supercab. They are a very good all-arond tire. Quiet on the highway. They have been great in the rain and snow we've had here in SE Pa.
With that said I put a set of Cooper AT3's on the wifes 07 JKU, and have really been impressed with the tires. They are just as quiet on the highway and a bit better in the rain and snow. Around the same price as the WildPeaks, maybe a bit more, but not much, and the 55K warranty is a good thing. I think the WildPeaks warranty was 50K.
