i dont run them ...but...they are like the XL's and XZL's ...very stiff sidewall...very hard to flex because our trucks just dont have the weight on them.

they wear like iron...they are radial...new they are very expensive!

you can get some used ones from Michele at:
Army Military Tires

There is a guy on Pirate selling them for 80 bucks a pop. I saw a few pics of them on his 4 door JK, they look beefy. There is another guy with an 80 series with them. He had them aired down to I think about 6 or 8 psi on stock 16 wheels and they were holding a bead and looked to be pretty grippy!

My buddy with an XJ is going to get some as soon as he has them in stock, evidently he is out at the moment.

Here's the links:

I'm pretty sure the guy with the 80 is here on MUD. It's burgundy with an exo cage I think.

x2 on the stiffness.

I got some years ago from Stazworks.

Yeah, if you look at the JK pics on his thread at Calico, they aren't even bulging any, but the 80 seems to have enough a$$ to make them go to work.

I run them and LUV'M!!!

I don't think I will run anything else!

You can air them down to 8-10psi and the flex great and are VERY sticky!

Check out my build thread in my sig line...go to page 7 and see them in action!!!

BTW you will want to go higher on the lift...I had the 2.5 plus 1" spacers and it worked however they rubbed so much I couldn't take it anymore and went to 5"!

No doubt...after all how many Burg 80's with an EXO could there be, right?
