I guess there are 1 million replies on the dedicate thread....
EDIT: I was a big fan....
I had somewhere between 7-9 P-metric Wildpeaks, never paid more than like 145/tire. At that price, they were great but they also had 2 huge flaws:
1/ Forget volcanic desert rock. Puncture after puncture regardless of pressures.
2/ Forget them lasting any mileage at all. They are fantastic for like 5,000 miles, best thing since sliced bread. They wear incredibly fast though and after 10k, you see the signs of aging and start worrying about puncture. By 20k you are pushing it.
That's with lots of offroading. If you just do forest roads, I dunno. But here in AZ they do not last at all, I think, even if you don't offroad. Maybe they are too soft and the sun/heat kills them, I don't know why.
On the bright side:
--never had a puncture outside the Sonoran desert (saw lots of Utah and Montana trails as well as Sedona area etc).
--great on the road, never felt like I had offroad tires on pavement which was a good thing.
Btw, just remembered that they are not great in gravely, sandy conditions. They grab lots of sand. My bigger, flatter blocks on the ATZ P3 handle that a lot better.
In short, great for a state like Montana with lots of rain, lost of dirt, and few actual 4x4 trails. Not suitable for AZ.
The LT version is TOTALLY different and I think a lot better suited to offroading in the desert but also very heavy and without 3ply sidewalls, so....
