I have had these on my '93 3.9L 4x4 LE Club Cab for about a month
now (they replaced the stock Goodyear Wranglers AT's) and can say
nothing but good things about them. Wet pavement traction is way
up from the wranglers (they sucked!) and the mud cleans away pretty
well for an AT tire. In fact I could drive in 2wd with the Pirelli's
in situations where I would have need 4wd with the Wranglers.
Anyways, bottom line is I'm really happy with them. TTYL, Rudy
