I ran a set of six for 49,000 miles. I didn't mind the noise, never had trouble in the rocks or reasonable mud. Lateral stability SUCKS in my opinion, but they go forward and back REAL well. They DO have a "hey look at ME" thing going on. I liked them, but don't miss them, I am running the Trail Grapplers now.

I'm running 37 mud grapplers on a 4 inch lift with the bushwackers also. Sounds like we got the same set up. They run great and i love the whine they have when you are on the highway. Never really had a problem with traction either.

I love my 37s too I also like the noise they make, I will run them again, I have no vibrations or shaking their as smooth as a babys ass and sloppy deep mud dont seem to slow them any, they really dig in the mud here and clean out amazing

These are mine with the Currie 4" kit and factory fender chop.



I have talked with a bunch of people about buying these tires and they said the pull through mud, dirt, and deep snow really well and do phenomenal on rocks as well. But Tue side hill isn't so great due to the tread is like a paddled like design.

These tires are wide ad hell too!!! I think mine with 17x9 wheels are at about 14" wide at 27psi. I can't wait to get out and try these out ob the trail!!!!

So I know that a lot of ppl on the form love the mtr Kevlars. Why are they so popular? Sorry that probably a dumb question.

I've had a set for almost 30k miles now and love them. Yes they are LOUD and heavy but they look bad ass. I have people ask me about them all the time. I'm in Louisiana so all we have here is mud and I have to say I have never had a better tire in the mud and on the trail. (dirt) They clean out extremely well and thats what you need in the mud.
