    I have a set on my Unimog and love them, a good balance between traction in most conditions, noise and money.

    It's not about the truck and it is not about the distance traveled. Get out there with whatever you have, meet people and see things. Push the envelope of your comfort zone and live.

    I've ran two sets of them on my truck and think they are a good comprimise between highway and off-road. I've made a few 3,000 mile trip while towing a trailer. I did sipe mine for better traction in the snow/ice.

    I had the standard 37" tires on my old EarthRoamer. Ordered the MPT81's on my new EarthRoamer. Absolutely night and day with the MPT81's. They ride softer and they track much better than the standard 37" tires. Only downside is road noise. Not so sure they are all that much more noisy than the 37", but the 2012 Ford F550 Chassis Cab is so quiet compared to the 2008 F550, all you can hear is the tire noise.

    I have a set of the 275's on my Dodge 5500, drive great in rain and snow with a total vehicle weight of 15k. I would like to here peoples opinion on wear and where the best deals are on these tires for replacement. Oh, and they are noisy as well.
