Yes, all and Yes, These started giving me a hard time at 3000mi I tried to return them but the dealer just rebalanced them and realinged. It just got progressively worse. They were bad out of the gate.
PS I have the life time alignment warrantee from Firestone. I check them after every hard wheeling trip. I will not buy these tires again nor would I recommend anyone to buy them. You get what you pay for. There are three components Price, Service and Quality. Since you pay less you get less of the other two. These also have an E load rating and you have to roll around with low pressure to get just an ok ride. Then there goes the gas mileage. They are loud, I mean it. I may get rid of these sooner. I bought mine from the dealer with these on it. I feel compelled to get my money’s worth.

Now do you really want to know how I feel about these tires!!!!!!!!! LOL

I love mine. I think they are wearing fine and they aren't very noisy. I have a hard time believing a tire that will perform this well off road could be much quieter. Off road tires are noisier than an AT. Fact of life.

Well I guess you either absolutely love these tires or absolutely hate these tires! I'm pretty indecisive about which tire to buy, but the price of these compared to others is very attractive. Thinking this tire or the Cooper STT

I think the Cooper would be a superior tire, but it will cost more as well. The Cooper and the Pro-Comp Extreme MT appear to be essentially the same tire with a different tread pattern.

I have these in a 35 on my chevy... and in a 33 on my JK. Love them so much, I'm goin' with them again in a 35 for my JK soon.

They wear great even with my wife driving her lifted and chipped chevy Z71. I think I should easily get another 2 seasons easy on hers... and mine still have the rubber stubbies, even after 10K.
