Looking for 35s, hate the prices. Look no further.

I searched but could not find my 1st review.

Stop drinking the KM2 koolaid. I have seen more people stuck and with shredded sidewalls on KM2s than any tire. Of course the Kevlars are great but $$$ and hard to get. I luckily stumbled across these tires on craigslist searching for 35s. Then I bought a 5th for my spare and wow they are way cheaper. I think I got a single new for $200.

On Road:
Very quiet
I have 20k on mine and its hard to tell. Rotated around every 7-8k miles
Wear great
Good in snow
Good in rain...heavy rain and standing water not the greatest at 50mph and higher though

Off Road:
I have aired down to 9-10psi with no beadlocks and had the tire smashed and folded and have never broken a bead.
Grip rocks very well...only when aired down
I have a few nicks in the sidewall and there thick and still drive them everyday
They have a nice rim protector that keeps the bead in great
Sand...good
Mud...pretty good and clean out quick

I drive my JK everyday and wheel 2 times a month. For the price these are 1 of the best tires. Feel like an AT, work like a MT off road, and you can afford to buy 5 at a time and not refinance your house. I wish they made 37s

Absolutely love these tires. I am going to put a set on my wifes when her Mickey Thompson MTZ's wear out. Only thing is the 33's are the same cost as 35's.

My wife's running 31" TSRs on her XJ and loves them! I'll be replacing my BFG's next year with them as well.

Where do you recommend ordering them from? I'm wanting to get 33's but have not found any major sites that sell them.

Has anyone measured the actual size? Do they run small like the duratracs?

Yes, my 265/75-16s are listed at 31.6 inches but only measure out to 31" even while unmounted. Pretty small for a 32 inch class tire.
