I like mine and the price was right, it swayed from 215 - 290 per tire installed. The only thing I don't like now is that the siping is pretty much worn down, but I they still handle rain ok. My tire wheel combo is about 96lbs- 305/70-17 on 17" procomps.

I got my tires
I got the new Maxxis Bighorns 305 70 17 put on today. They measured 33"s on 17x9 wheels and 28lbs of air.
The wheel and tire weighs 90lbs. That was what I thought I would get with the 285 70 17.We went for a short test drive and so far they ride alot better than the Kelly Safari Tsr tires I had before.

They are short. My 315/75/16s (Mfg's spec - 34.6") were right at 33.5" under my 4door, running on 16x8.5 rims @ 30psi.
The 35" mtr/k is supposed to be closer to 35" under vehicle weight. Or step up to a short 37.

I let myself get talked into 4.88 gears on my 2012. Not a fan with the Toyo 35" MT (33.5"). It'd be a good thing to get a little more height out of the tire (but then I've still got the spindly little axles....).
