Should be pretty obvious what to post.

A little comment about what size lift you have would be nice, too.

not that obvious, you didn't say what vehicle 265/70/17 (32x11)




I like mine though, holding up quite well and fairly quiet on the road.

Then it should be obvious that it doesn't matter.

Nice F-150. Get some rack lights for the top and you'll be golden.

Still don't know.
Checked tire pressure (29psi) on all tires before getting onto the highway. Had cruise set at 60 and the tire went kaboom. Because of my locker and cruise control the Jeep went crazy. Got it under control and pulled over.

As a mechanic I have done many tire inspections. This one doesn't have any abnormal wear besides not having the sidewall attatched to the carcass.

I won't run them again. They ran pretty quiet. They didn't clean well at all, though.

I liked them as a DD tire, they were not to loud (compared to MT/Rs)

They got me everywhere I needed to go, rocks, mud, snow, sand, anything.
My tires never held me back, the only times I got stuck were clearance issues, never traction problems

I was running 2.5 OME w/ a 1in spacer in front and a 1.25 BL with 33x12.5r15x8 w/ 3.75 bs

I would buy them again, but I think the Km2 will be my next tire

I have about 19,500 miles on mine and they they have a butt load of tread left, and they are surprisingly quiet on the road. I've had them in snow, mud, and a few rocks and they haven't let me down.

Size 35x12.50R17:

Man, I've never ever seen a spare blow out like that. I better go check mine, it's a M/T Baja, but I've never really paid that much attention to it!

That probably isn't his spare tire. He just put it on the spare tire carrier after he put the spare on the axle.

I would buy by 33"x12.50 MTZs again. Pretty good wear on the road and do well in any situation:
