How are you liking your tires after some use? What lift height are you?

I have a 2013, just getting ready to do a 2.5" lift, 17" Fuel Krank wheels and 315/70R17 tires. I am thinking the 2 ply make good sense for what I do. Also, did you stock tire carrier handle them, or did you go aftermarket?

Lastly, did you regear?

so to the ppl that have been running these for a bit what do you think?! i'm still looking to consider the 315/75/16's for my jk. i like the narrow advertised width and the light weight. normally i would say lighter generally equals weaker sidewalls but with this supposed new technology here i'm very interested. thanks for any feedback from experienced users!

Just the Extreme Country would be 2 ply sidewalls. They are still an E Rated tire though. All of the rest of the E's are 3 ply sidewalls.

They do have C's in the 15" wheel sizes.

Just got 295/70/17's mounted yesterday (along with new Drakon wheels) on my Willys (unlifted)...

Mounted height is 33".

So Woodchip, how do these ride? Any complaints? I watched a YouTube vid of these and they showed a lot of wear to them after only 1,200 miles. They also said they made his truck vibrate and shake the steering wheel. I'm hoping that it was just an installation mistake or they weren't balanced properly. Looking for some feedback from someone who actually has them on a wrangler. Currently looking at the same set up and size.

Thanks, man. Once I looked at 315's in person, I knew I didn't want em'. I might be in the minority but 295's are plenty big enough for me.

Ive been looking at these as a lighter weight tire comparable to the STT Pro based on the load range D vs the Pros E.
After looking at the specs though, in a 315/70r17 there's only a 4 pounds difference. I knows there's a little more to it than that but with them both being Cooper tires I found it odd. Anyone compared these side by side?

I would love to hear how these tires are doing in real world experiences as well. I'm thinking about ordering them myself. I'm down to these or MT ATZp3. I know it's not apples to apples, but after all the reading I've done, the ATZ is an excellent tire. I can't find too much on these anywhere.

I'm really liking mine. I'm running them in a 35x12.5.15 and they've exceeded my expectations on hard pack snow and ice. They're still a mud tire but the siping and lug spacing must be doing their thing. Best mud tire I've driven on in the winter yet. I can't really comment on wear as I've only got about 3k miles on them.



Aired down to 15psi, not a lot of bulge but my Yeep is pretty light.





I didn't think we were playing very hard but I took a sizable chunk out of one of the lugs their first time out.

That's a pretty nasty gash. It look like it delaminated all the way across at the level of one of those "steps" in the tread block. Those steps look odd to me and I was wondering if they would cause an issue. Hopefully that tear in the tread will be an isolated incident.

It's good to hear that you like them in the snow. Do you have an opinion on them in the rain or standing puddles on the road? Around where I live there are a lot of ruts in the blacktop that can turn into small streams in the rain and you need to be careful.

I have to make a purchase in about two weeks and I'm still on the fence between these and the Mickey's.

Not noisy. They're quieter than the BFG KM2's I was running and that's not a loud tire either. With the top and doors off I don't hear the tires over the wind noise. There are very few concrete / asphalt surfaces that I hear the tires at all.

Got mine in March of this year mine are 35x12.50x15s fine in hard rain driving, just amazing off road mud sand wet rocks, it's my only vehicle. Daily drive it wheel it on the weekends, they are a little louder than my Duratracs were, but not obnoxious, still hear stereo fine. Holding up very well.
