The rocks tore them a new A-hole,,, Table Mesa and Florence Junction along with Sunflower and Hackberry have took their toll. 2 outta round (changed one out with my spare, still got a outta round one on the back), and the 3 originals I have on there look pretty beatup. Rubber chunks and cuts. Between my tires and my poor axle flanges, evertime I go out it's like a wounded animal driving back. Lookin to try the Geo's.

I checked out your rig one day and I had never seen tires so chewed up. I almost bought those tires in 35's too. Luckily I went a different route.

Well I do tend to go over the harder lines. My tires are how buggy tires get a lookin, all rounded and the knobs get rounded and chunked. They are soft.

They do well in the rocks (in any terrain for that matter), but they are a slightly softer tread compound than others. Tend to chunk in the rocks, especially in the shoulder lugs.
