Jim,
I've had 2 sets of those in 235's up front and 275's out back. I got very close to
50,000. They handled very well....but were terrible in the snow. I have a set
mounted on stock 5 spoke rims with I think about 1/2 life left on em. I'm now
running 17" 275 Nitto N450's which handle very well but wear much faster.
