Yup! That is how i bought mine, and it went very smooth! They seem well balanced, they were packed good, no problems. I was missing a center cap, but he took care of that right away! I will say however, the ups guy was NOT happy, they took up half of his truck, and obviously, are not light! Oh well.

Bottom line, I seriously doubt you will regret them.

Just got them mounted last week, so only a few miles on them so far. I went with dynabeads to balance them so I'm still trying to get used to them. As far as the tires in the snow... they are great so far, and we've been getting dumped on over the last couple days! I haven't had any slipping issues... they've been great.

They are asymmetrical tires so there is a proper way to mount them on the tires. But, they can be put on either side of the vehicle.

I'm close to picking a set of these up, I think it's between these and the Duratrac. My concern is I do a lot of winter driving for skiing and snomobiling in MI so a lot of packed snow roads, worried about getting a MT for that reason. Plus it has to be good in rain since it's a daily driver.

Keep the reviews coming on these.

Thank you! The real test will be getting these out on the rocks. Lots of sidewall and HUGE footprint!

I'm a skiier as well. I'll be heading to my mountain (well, glorified hill here in CNY) tonight after work. We've been getting hit pretty hard with so, so I'll be able to report back on how they handled on some of the back roads near the slope. The roads are very tight and get very drifted with the snow blowing across the fields. So far though, they've been great in the snow.

The MT is maximum traction....Not Mud terrain...

They work great in the snow, rain and what ever else you can throw at it..

You won't be disappointed..

I'm looking forward to hearing the feedback after the ski trip, ifshinxs, that's true, I forgot about that, I always think of these as a mud terrain and have never owned a mud terrain and have been scared to buy an aggressive tire on a daily driver because of the weather I always seem to be caught in.

I think I've narrowed it down to these and the duratrac for an all around good tire as opposed to the Nitto Trail or mud grappler or the Toyo Open Country which would be awesome if I lived/played in a warmer climate

They handled very well last night. They only broke free of the road when I made it, by gunning it off a stop sign making a turn. So far, I'm very happy with these.

(Just have to get them balanced right)
