Black08X, I owe you an apology friend. So, here it is. I'm sorry. I guess I say a lot of things jokingly that don't get taken that way, and that's my fault.
Now....about the tread design.......take a look at the Toyo Open Countyr MT. Like the Firestone, it's surprisingly similar. After some careful thought, I've thought about the new Goodyears here, the Hankooks and one or two more...but I think I am going to go with the Goodyear Duratecs. I've changed my mind so much though, who the hell knows?

That Firestone Revo does look pretty similar to the Goodyear. They look cool but tires like that only last about 20 thousand miles or so as they tend to be soft compound for better traction.

Wading through the BS...
I saw these in the store, but it was very late (24-hour store) and nobody was around to answer questions.
Anyone have the list of available sizes? No info at walmart.com.

I just happen to walk through the Wal-Mart tire section yesterday and they were putting these tires out on display and stacking them in the middle of the isle. They look like really good tires. The tread depth is thick.
The first thing I asked the (who looked to be the one in charge) manager if they had them in 35s and unfortunatly no. But he also replied with, "Do you know how many people have asked me that today."

When a manufacturer makes a Walmart-only product they typically lower the cost by using cheaper materials, processes, and labor (China). This is discussed without bias in
"The Walmart Effect."
Levis did this with their Signature Series jeans, while Toro refused to do the same with their mowers.
The easiest place,to save money on a tire would be sidewall construction, and I read a poster Jeep forum saying the the sidewall was not stiff.

somebody buy a set i wanna see the results. i saw these at a walmart while we were moving my girlfriend into college down in KY and i checked out the sizes and all that but was still curious about the tire. when i saw this thread i was excited that maybe somebody got them but it seems not. Red said something about the duratrac? those tires i have heard great reviews on and they look great! a very very aggressive A/T that has big lugs and a good sidewall. also those tires and heavy rated for snow, which is great! my next tires i believe will be the Duratrac as well. fantastic tire.
