Bought these a year and a half ago. At first the tires were excellent. Love the aggressive look and grip was great in all conditions. Unfortunately it only took about one year (8k miles) until that grip in wet/snowy conditions went away. And tread life is horrible. Only have 13k on them and they're at half tread. Was really hoping to get 30-40k out of these but I'll be running slicks by that point. I liked the price point before prices of everything went up, but don't think I'll be running these again.

Good dry traction off and on road. On pavement very loud at low speeds and in corners. Good in loose snow, abysmal on ice/hardpack. Impressive in mud. Seem to be wearing well. Good overall value, but Ill be trying something else next. 10k so far 285/75R16
Love these tires. Great handling and tread wear is awesome. Not a lot of noise considering how meaty they are. Best tire at a great price.
There great tires especially in winter. Just a little noisy but that's to be expected with a more aggressive tire I would definitely buy them again
I bought a set of these in size 35/12.50r20 for my Dodge Ram 2500 and they work real well when it comes to getting traction in all terrains. No issues so far and they've been on for right at 10k miles. Still have about 2/3 of tread life in them. Would recommend for a good all around tire if you want the more aggressive look for a cheaper price. They are a little noisy but I enjoy the way they sound.
I've owned two pairs (01 TrailBlazer Outlander Build 305/60/17 & now 2012 Silverado 33x12.5x22) of these in the last 3 years and have to say that aside from the Kenda Klevers, these "RT" are the best tires I've owned. They perform on par with the Toyo MTs and better than the ATs that I've owned. However the compound is harder than the Toyo compound so expect more road noise than the Toyo ATs but less than the MT. I took these up to 4k feet above sea level to go hunting and the performed great on the snowy terrain after airing down to 20-30psi. They've got no issue on dry terrain and mud terrain as long as you know what you're doing. Will never buy Toyos again. Go with these or the Kendas.
I just put on 35X1250R20E FED XPLORA R/T 10PLY in my 2021 Wrangler JLU, with 54lbs pressure front and back. Is this too much? Seems too bouncy and lots of oversteer. I've upgraded the steering stabilizer and steering box. Any suggestions?
The day after got them put on went on a 2,000 mile road trip to the mountain to go camping they did amazing on off road mountain trails and the drive there was smooth and quit never had a problem on the wet twisted mountain road so in the first week put about 4,500 miles on them and still look good will be getting another set next year
After mounting these two new tires on the back like suggested, my truck drives like its on ice. I'm so scared of this thing and my girlfriend refuses to drive it. The "roll" in turns is excessive to say the least. A couples times my trailer sway control engaged it was so bad. I've tried 40,50,60,70 pounds of air. Nothing makes it any better. Be careful would not recommend.
Bought these at an amazing price, was going to spend $240 per tire somewhere else but got an amazing deal with simply tire, I will write a review for this specific tire but overall I cannot complain with how fast the shipping was and the easy use of this website.
