I have them and they're awesome off road, but I'm not thrilled with the overall wear of them. Have about 20K on them and there's less than half left. I rotated religiously, and checked them for wear, they seem to get softer as they break down which causes them to wear even faster... This is from my point of view. I do a bunch of highway and city driving if it matters. Not sure if I'll get them again.

haven't had mine that long, but I have been having bad balance problems with my MTR K's. I wish I had went with KM2's now, or with another set of STT's but otherwise they are great tires.
