Been running the 315/75/16's about 3 1/2 years now with no problems. For the price, they are hard to beat. (about $100 less per tire than km2 and mtr/k when I got them)

Good performance both on and off road. Not stellar in any category, but nowhere near the bottom of the list. They are a bit shorter than some, mine are right at 33.5" under vehicle weight. And the siping is very shallow, so if you live somewhere with winter weather, you'll probably want to get that done again the second year.

Think I had had them for about a year when these were taken, maybe 8k miles.



Waiting patiently for them to wear out so I can move up to 37's, just don't drive enough.

I got a set of 35" bighorns a few weeks ago. I'd say they're good for the price, paid $250 a piece also. I was looking for decent tire to hold me over until I do some other upgrades.

I ran 315/75/16's for 2 years. Loved them. They run small. About same size as km2's. awesome offroad, great as daily driver.

I went to toyo to get a more true size. Love my Toyos but I'd gladly run the bighorns again.
