Had mine since April. No issues with them. Great tire will buy again. Wish I had gotten that deal. Paid full price for all 5. Great thing about the re molds is they measure closer to 35 than others mine measure 34.5" on my Jeep @ 26psi. I also have the bead to bead with the tread wright logo on the side.

with 15k on them how do they look? how many more miles you think you'll get? I have been looking to get that same tire

I ran my guard dogs to 20k with no issues. Loved the ties, but got a great deal on my nittos. Now my brother is running them with almost 30k miles. They still look great. Anyone with money woes or can't justify 2k for tires it's a great alternative.

Go big or go home! Now you can go big on a budget.

I went without the grip.. I live in the south and we dont get snow often. I also read that they wear faster with the Walnut and Glass mixture in the rubber. So I went without the Grip

I would get the grip if I lived up north in the New England region. I probably would buy another 4 and get them studded. They have the capability of being studed which I think is a great option. Dunno if you can run studs up year round in Maine though.

I just got mine in April I have only 3k on the tires since my Jeep is my toy and not my DD. They are holding up great and I did take them on a trip to south GA with no issues 9 hour straight drive only stopping for gas.

When I ordered mine they told that the kedge grip wears about 20% faster
