Yes, but I have Radial Rover RVs ; you say you have Radial Rovers. There is
a difference in the tread, the RV's having a more aggressive all terrain
tread type/pattern. I ordered the RVs and the tire shop ended up putting the
'normal' Radial Rovers on my Dak. They pulled my truck out and I laughed at
them; this was at NTB. The guy said "well sir these are our best selling
tire." I then told him to read the order/data sheet and tell me what tires I
wanted on my truck. DUH!! The Radial Rovers are more 'street oriented' than
the RVs are. I currently have about 35,000 miles on mine and like them alot;
so far though my Hoosier Radial ATs have been the best, traction-wise; they
also lasted 43,000 miles.
