Default New Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction...

Anyone got more information or tested the new Dunlop mud tires? I have just seen a few pics, and they don't look too bad. Dunlops have been pretty inexpensive as far as M/T's go...

I have been looking at those since there aren't too many 35" tires for around $210.

Is this a Bias tire?

The reason I ask is that TireRack lists this one (Rover M/T Maxx Traction) and also a (Radial Rover M/T Maxx Traction)

Both have the same pics and description, with this bit included...
The tire’s internal structure includes two high-density steel belts for strength with polyester cord that reinforces the sidewalls.
Anyway, $185 for the 315/75/16's with the non-radial label, and has a $50 mail in rebate on top.

My TJ had brand new Dunlop Mud Terrains (35") on it when I bought it. I took them off and sold them to a friend. They now have like 10k miles on them and look like they are well over half done. The ride was pretty rough as well. I can't say I will be putting any dunlop anythings under my JK. Just my indirect experience.

oh.. on a sidenote, you can buy them mega cheap here at the local sam's club. (kinda like a costco for you guys up north)
