Ummm yeah ok!! who is the one smoking crack? Last I read the OP had Truxus MT's not Super Swampers. My TRUXUS MT's are very quiet on the road after wearing 50%. Yes I will confirm that Super Swampers are extreamly loud on the road but again we are not talking about them.

Good luck with your new tires you will love them.

okay, i believe the problem i was stating eariley was a problem with my shock not the tire

went for a little wheeling today with the rear tires mounted! they are awesome

tough tire, excellent grip, hard to make them break loose off road even with a locker.

I'm glad you're liking them. I am really looking forward to trying them with a locker someday. I am going out this weekend on a muddy run and I am thinking about airing them down to around 18 psi. Anyone suggest a better pressure? For the record, mine are pretty quiet on the road too, I drive about 100km commuting daily and I would say that the BFG at's I had before were louder.

i heard people run about 15 with no problems. id drop to 18 see how that handles and if you like it, leave it if not go a little more.

the locker makes it good!!!!!!!!!! i only had to lock the hubs to make it up one thing really. so they are awesome!

i cut a very shallow part of the outter lugs on one side from flexing too far, but its only cosmetic, other than that the whole time i was wheeling (+4 hours) which was on logging roads/rocky roads/granite rocks a little bit. no chunking at all, very tough tire, very impressed so far!

Update!

Yes, i would completely buy these tires again. I really like them on and off road. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to try them out in the snow, but snow season is coming up soon, so hopefully then.

In a little over a thousand miles there is a bit of wear, but that is to be expected with such a soft tire. I daily drive mine, about 40miles a day and on road, they are pretty quiet. Its been hard to tell with a pinion bearing going out, and that was much louder than the tires.
