I have them in the 37" size. I love them. They are quiet, handle well, and good offroad. I have almost 30K on my set and they are maybe half worn and wearing nice and even.

I looked at a set of them last month. They seemed like really nice tires but I just couldn't pry myself away from the Bf's. Tire rack and discount tire have multiple pages of reviews. Maybe that might help.

Thanks everyone.
I have stock tires on my 2012 jk sahara and want a lil bigger tire. I have P225/70R18.
Is 265/70R18 a good size to go to without needing lift?

I've got a set of 285/75R-16s on my truck. They are super quiet on the highway, ride nice, and also seem to work reasonably well in dry terrain. They aren't mud tires though. An area near my house gets used to test my vehicle set-up frequently, and I've gone through this area numerous times over the years, in numerous vehicles, in all weather conditions. I've done it in the mud in a Ram pickup with Toyo MTs on, with open diffs, and not had an issue. Tried to do it in the mud in my current truck with Falken Wild Peaks on, and ARB air lockers at both ends, and couldn't go anywhere. The truck would just spin on flat ground, it couldn't go anywhere, or do anything. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. But, ... these are just AT tires, not MT tires. Don't expect them to perform in mud.
