I have friends who have them and no complaints but their rigs are not daily drivers. I have bfg km2 and my rig is a dd and they wear great with regular rotation! Depends on preference.

i've run trxus on my old tj and it's a tough tire with thick sidewalls and does great on the trail but, they were a real pain to balance. at least, that was my experience with them.

The tire is a great mud/street tire but talking with a tire expert that has been doing it for years he told me that anything over 35 inches is not guaranteed to be "round"....Not sure about todays technology, so balancing issues come in to play. I have had trucks (4x4's) for over 20yrs and now this Jeep. and I kinda believe him. I have now stuck with 35's....Dont get me wrong, I want 37's but I might have to sacrifice a little wobble if I do.

Thanks for all the input, think I may have to give them a shot, can't be any worse than my baja claws, and since I paid roughly the amount for my 33s as these are gonna run why not

I ran Trxus MTs on my old CJ. They were a very good all around tire, one of the best out there IMO. There are balancing issue with every Swamper tire though.

I had the 35x12.50r17 on my 2D...

Pros:
They are really good on the trails
They handle nicely on road
I got over 40k miles with good amount of thread left before traded it in


Neutral:
Little bit loud but I like the sound


Cons:
Pain in the ass to balance
