Went across a small stream (about 30 feet wide) on Saturday night, I made it... with no problems, WOW a good set of tires really makes the difference, I would have never made it with the dunlops, I would have sat and spun until I got stuck. The Mud tires gripped the muddy bottom and climbed out over the bank, on both sides, (amazing) Never once did my traction lights go off or was there any slippage. It was great.
I will go across the river in the day time soon and take pics.

Did my first rototation with a little over 2000 miles on the tires. I went front to back. I see just a little bit of tread ware, other than that they are still going strong. I love taking these tires in the mud/off road, I have so much confidence with them, I hope they do not get me into a situation I cannot get out of.
Anyway, I love them and I wish I had some deep snow to play in!!!
Cheers...

Tires are still doing ok, did another alignment (free at NTB for 6 months after you get the first one with them... I just tell them its not right and they look at it and fix it)... that was after the rotationI did.
Anyway got over 3000 miles on them and they are doing fine.
I think I do have a problem, I love to hear that roar going down the road so I roll the windows down, but with the windows up in the 4runner you do not hear the roar too much.
going to do an oil change this weekend.
Cheers.

Mud T/A's ROCK. Getting stuck was never an issue on any vehicle I had them on. If it starts to get close just give it some gas and throw the mud out.
Rotate rotate rotate. If you get lazy or forget and don't rotate they'll get chopped and become very noisy and bumpy. If you rotate at least every 6000 miles they'll gradually get louder as the tread wears down evenly. As the tread wears down there's less void room for the noise to get out and they get louder. Nothing you can do about it except turn the stereo up. 40 or 50,000 miles get another set.

I am going to say no. The rubbing would be an issue. (you could shave away some of the plastic) When I had the tires put on originally it was a very close fit, the guy at the tire store said these are not going to fit. I told him just put them on and I
would judge the fit. They did fit, but only by less than 1/2 inch on the front side of the wheel well. But they only rub in reverse when I cut the wheels, but it is avoidable.
hope that helps.
