I had MTr's before and they did the same thing but they were impossible to balance as they got older and they were almost 150 bux more expensive per tire. The Hankooks are alot better in rain/snow and are really nice in the rocks. At 18 psi they are just as good as the MTr's just not as trendy...
I have em in a 305/70-16. So far been excellent all-around. They are noisy compared to the an AT type, but I was prepared for that. They handle well on the road and they are exceptional off road. they seem to be wearing pretty fast, but I offroad more than the average person so its hard to tell...
