The tire is made just for Wal-Mart which leads me to believe it will be made a little cheaper than the others. Not a good thing

They look pretty sweet though. I think they'd classify for more of the extreme A/T if not a M/T

Because MT tires wear out quickly since they are way softer than AT tires. That's why I got BFG ATs instead of the Goodyear MTRs

I'd pass. If its sold only at Wal-Mart I dont think it can't be a good thing. I'd rather have Cooper's.

if I get 31s I wanted those you showed me...NiTTos? having a hard time finding dealers that sell certain tires, sucks living in Alabama...

finding out your truck is mighty weak compared to a mustang V8 makes one want to go buy A/Ts... my truck will never see 100mph+
