They're selling for around $444 dollars for a 35x12.5/17. That's a truly amazing price.

These are 35x12.50x15. They sell on Summit for $500. I am running 15" wheels, so that's why I'm interested.

I just hope there is someone out there who has experience with them or at least knows more about them than I do that can fill me in on the goods and bads of these tires.

tread life for street use was my first thought, but for $500 who cares how long they last

Northwest Arkansas. They belong to a buddy of mine. He won't sell them to anybody else for that price. I read online where one of the magazines did a test and claimed that they put over 20k miles on a set with no visible road wear. Does that sound possible?

For that price buy them and run them, that is a steal. Can't see your pics, but iirc the 15" has a more "M/T like" tread pattern than the 16-17" sizes, so they would probably do well in most off-road conditions.
