Haha, I know a lot of people don't like them down south here. Up in northern bc they are pretty popular. They are also known to have weak side walls, but I think this is mostly in the larger 33 and 35" sizes. Honestly, I bought a set as it was to hard to beat the price at Canadian tire, and I'm on a tight budget. So far I've been VERY happy with them. I have skinny ones which balloon less and so are less prone to side wall slashing issues. 235/85R16. Each to their own. Had I the money, I would have bought Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx. Living in Canada's second most un-affordable city while trying to raise a family has trumped that call.

I've had a set. 315/70/17 on a one ton.

Junk.

3 camping trips = 4 flats. I took them off with 50% tread and binned them. If they even smelled a gravel road they started leaking. Too be fair, they did perform well in snow and rain but they were new and any tire would, so no great praise there. They just weren't "durable".

Perhaps Nick is right and the smaller ones are better....

I have beat the absolute crap out of mine off road and never had an issue. My personal theory is they made the 235/85R16 size tougher as it's often used on heavy dually pick-ups. They also bulge less at the sides even when aired down, so are less susceptible that way. Before I bought I read into it a lot (as I did have my doubts) and could not find any examples of people having issues with the narrow tires. As per your experience, I HAVE heard of lots of issues with the wider versions though.
