I love them. 35x12.5/15. They are on a daily driver. I had them out in the snow last weekend and they were great. I'm very impressed so far but am looking forward to getting them off-road in the dirt, mud and rocks.

Dude ! I just got my 35x12.5 17's installed this afternoon at discount tire. Went from nice n' smooth stock Sahara 18's.

There is a "little" nub in the steering wheel I noticed by the lugs.. BUT wow! LOVE the look.... and she drove home great from the shop.

I couldn't be more happy with the way they look. I had them mounted on stock Rubi 17's I bought from a shop here in town. I had 1.5 spider trax spacers on there for this reason , but the discount tire mgr freaked out on me... said a lot of bad things about spacers when he saw them... whatever..

They installed the tires and the guys that did it told me they loved the way the Jeep looked... and they fit without a lift.!!!

I'm having a JKS ACOS installed this next week and adjustable track bars and regear to 5.13. I cannot wait to get her back next week all done...well, I still have to put my ARB front bumper on... but that can wait.

There are plenty of people that really like this tire. Add me to the list.

We rode these tires in Iraq and they served us well. Only had one issue with them as you can see in the pic. Other than this one tire blowing they held up pretty well to our abuse.

Are they a "directional" tire?

Awesome to hear that our Service men and women are running these tires on the vehicles in the field. If these tires can be put to the test in some of the harshest conditions, I think I can trust them to a little bit of mud and rocks.

Thanks for your Service!

These are an asymmetrical tire. Check this out from an ezinearticle.

Asymmetric tire tread patterns feature two or more different patterns across the face of the tire. This blend of patterns is used to increase the range of driving conditions the tire is capable of performing in. Larger ribs and tread blocks may be featured on the outboard side of the tire to help with cornering, while the inboard face of the tire could feature smaller blocks to help stability on wet surfaces. There are a large number of potential tread combination that can be used to achieve very specific results when designing a tire.
They can be rotated as normal.

People have problems with them? Wonder why?
I think they're great! And they look cool!

I have them.. I loved them in the street.. took them on my first off-road trip and wasnt impressed.. they performed awesome off road for me but got very chewed up.. I have since learned to air-down much more than I did in the past and now Im happy with them. They dont perform all that perfectly in the mud but I dont think they are a true MT either.

Over all Im happy with them and will either go with them again in the future or IF I switch to a 17" rim I might try out the GY Duratracs
