So let me get this straight, some of you guys won't put this tire on your rig because......you don't like the name? They have barbed wire side bitters? Even though they have no bad reviews and actually are a good performing mud tire? They are a probably the best price for their performance too. So what I am seeing is that people are really worried about looks and not performance, sure if you can afford a better name brand 'D'rated tire on your cruiser (guess that really helps for all the heavy loads you probably carry), then I would get it too. I am not trying to start a pissing war, I just read this thread and its seemed ridiculous. I bought my HDJ81 on the island 2 years ago and the PO put a brand new set of 315's fierce attitudes before he sold it to me. I thought they looked like they were trying to be a tough tire. Well I have wheeled them through RiverShiver, Moab and all over BC and Alberta and never had a problem. They are really quiet on the road. I have put almost 40k on them and they still read over 80%. I have them just as a spare set now, but have a healthy respect for them. Rant over
not to continue a pissing war, but...
there's a big difference between researching tires and going out and buying them, from buying a truck with the tires already on and discovering they're ok.
Truthfully, would you have gone out to buy a new set of these when you bought that truck if it had needed tires?
Frankly they'd sell more without extra crap on the sides, it makes them look like a chinese knockoffs, and THAT is what makes people judge them by looks.
