Hello,

Is anybody using these tires?
If so then how do they perform in the rain & snow?
I'm leaning towards buying them from tirerack.com as the reviews are very good and the price exceptional.
I will need to upsize to the 265/70/17 as they don't list the 265/65/17 factory size. From what I understand, there will be no rubbing.
I have the factory dunlops with approx. 12K and their performance in the snow is appalling at best. The VSC is constantly kicking in & I drive like grandma.

Ok, I'll be the guinea pig and try them out.
I ordered 5 today and they should be in by next week. They're an AT tire and the tread pattern looks aggressive. I'll give my opinions of them versus the bfg AT as I run these on my jeep tj.

Terry.

I have not heard any complaints yet.

Korean made I believe. So unless you need the all weather capabilites of Revo or all terrain capabilits of the BFG, go for it.

I went to the BFG 265/70/17 and there is a slight bit of rubbing at full lock but only one one side. I get a slight rubbing turning full left, but not full right....but since that is only at full lock I just back off a tiny bit and it goes away.
