Just wanted to post this up. I was in contact with these guys before they imported them but ended up having to get something right away.

Does anyone have first hand experience with them? I'm looking for new meats shortly after I get the suspension lifted in a month or so.

My coworker who is ex-military said that his experience is that these are loud as hell but would last a long time. Neither is surprising.

They do not have any flex is the only drawback

Btw there us a couple who has been selling them used for over 20 years in Canada

You can get 50-70% tread for 125

Btw height is deceiving they are more like 34" tires... especially since there is minimal flex they do give you about 1" more ground clearance then a typical 33"

They are also recommended for 6" rims

Many years back, a guy in our club tried them on his 2dr jeep. He was so proud of them before the trail run, but they performed like sh$t on the trail. There is absolutely no flex on those tires, unless properly loaded.
