Ive just turned over 10k with them in a 33-12.50-15 and once you get past the weight factor youll fall in love! As i i said ive got 10k on them now, ive rotated them 2 times so far awaitng the 3rd turn and the wear is exceptional! Im down to just shy of 21/32s of tread left. Ive had them on the beach down to 15lbs, didnt bulge much but even so i was 90% in 2wd didnt struggle at all. Any mucky or sandy mud ive been through i havent had a need for 4wd unless nervous about the upcoming hole. They self clean with minimal wheel speed as well. Only had one snow day and the tires held their composure very well except when accelerating on ice. My favorite thing about them is they are the QUIETEST mud terrain ive ever owned, windows up at any speed i wont here a thing, windows down minimal hum. Had them on the rocks once and they atem up! Over all I love this tire and at $916 a set i will still buy them again for sure! They are a 9.2 in my book thus far!! Hope you pick up a set and enjoy them as much as i am!

35x12.50R15s here. :)

Definitely great tires for sure (and unlike the old MT/R, are true to size now too). I've had much less tread chunking in the rocks with the MT/R-Ks than with my old BFGs.

You might want to recheck that tread depth though... 21/32" is what the 35x12.50s are when new, the 33s are claimed to be 19/32s. I'm thinking they didn't gain tread lol.

I have about 6000 miles on mine, and they're down to around 19/32s or so up front, maybe a bit closer to 9/16" out back. Probably will rotate them around 10K or so.
 






I did get screwed out of white lettering which im still upset about but hey they are still awesome!
