Tread wears funny in the middle. Tires chunk very easy
|
|
Bought my open country AT's used with 80% tread left and havent really been to happy. At 35 psi they have worn almost bald in the middle of the tire after about only 7500 miles. They do thier job in rain, and mild offroad enviroments. Not very happy with these tires, maybe i got a bad set. Ive read review on the net about others with these tires having the same wear problems im having. They also chunk very badly when going through rocks.

Cons:

Hardens up too much below -10*C
|
|
I bought these back in the spring. They may not be the best tire available, but they are able to do light truck work in fields. I find they don't lose tracion that easily, but do notice they're not up to the task for the weekend off roader. The main down side to these tires is, that when it gets below freezing (-10*C and below) the rubber hardens up too much and you feel like your are driving on ice. But if it's around the freezing point, they seem to do the job. My tires cost me $190 cnd balanced and installed.
