alright i think these are the tires im gonna be buying for my X, i did a search on here and found some pretty good reviews, but the posts were a bit old and i just want maybe a little refresher from those people that have run them for a while now.

are they still running/wearing nicely?
do they still perform?

also what backspacing or offset will i need?? i have the 5.5 superlift

I have 265/75/R16 (aprox 32" tall 10.5 wide) TrXus MT's on my 00' sport. They are really good tires. Pretty quiet for an MT the only time i notice them is going around corners around 45 mph. I would reccomend using equal tire balance or something similar, cause they are tough to balance due to the size of the lugs on them. It seems like people either really like these tires, or don't like them. they are pretty heavy tires too. They are really good in snow and ice too, which is rare for an MT. They seem to be wearing nicely....i've only had them on about 5k and they don't show any. I'd suggest rotating them every other oil change just to make sure though.
