Just wanted to update on the Kevlars. I already updated my tire rack review as well. The new tires now have 1500 miles or so on em. Two trips to uwharrie. No problems, whatever problem they had before, Goodyear seems to have fixed em. No torn lugs or missing chunks, the cosmetic black is still black (although a different tint, not sure if anyone else would notice, but I am now super sensitive to it).

I have not checked tread depth, but they seem to be wearing evenly and not near as fast as the other set. In light of the improvements, I would recommend these tires for the avid offroader. Not so much for the once a year weekend outing, they are way too expensive for that, I would stick to some type of AT tire for that, but if you are going to regularly trail your truck, this tire is awesome.
