I had a set of 31" RV's as well on my old S-15 Jimmy that migrated to my
Jeep CJ-7 until I upgraded to 32" BFG MT's. It's a good compromise
tire...more agressive than an AT, but without the on-road penalties typical
of a mud tire. I only replaced them because I mainly run tightly cut wooded
trails with an occasional nasty midwestern mud patch or hole and the tread
packed up too quickly and the sidewalls were a bit weak (punched a hole in
one on an entrance to a trail the first time I took them out on the Jeep).
