Yes, I have and they look real nice and the best part is that they are quite affordable

I've seen them too. I'm debating between those in a 285/70/17 or Nittos in a 295/70/17. WOL is right in that they are pretty affordable. They look nice too!

Hey, great shot! Seeing the tires installed and on the rocks really looks good. How's the traction on the rocks with those bad boys?

Thumbs up I Love My Kooks

OK my .02 I Love my Hankooks. I have them on my wife’s Tahoe, my moms Land Rover and I had them on my Dodge Ram 1500 I sold it to buy the Jeep. I was very Skeptical of them when I was first told of them. After 30,000 Miles on my Ram 15,000 on the wife’s Tahoe, and mom has had them for two years not sure of the miles she has on those tires I am a believer and avid fan. I like the way the handle on my JK and the road noise is damn near nonexistent. They did just fine for me in the woods and perform Great on the street.

Traction that particular day couldn't have been better. I was running them at 10 psi and it was drier than I have ever seen it in Tellico. They begin to "chirp" pretty quickly on the dry rock and leave tire dust where they spin. The tires don't really seem to get sticky after spinning on the rock like some others do though. I still think that for the money they can't be beat.

Hey Firedog73, I like your choice of wheels - they look just like mine

Thanks for the on the street/on the trail feedback. My TJ is in need of new tires and I just might have to consider these.

Thanks Wayoflife. Like the Renegade said they do chirp and seem dry on the rock. I figured it was because they were new. still had the Blue on the white letters. I would not trade them.
