    I started with AT2s in the P-metric range. Ran Uwharrie once, Moab once, no problems. Nice, quiet, great handling, not the best in mud, but they are ATs. 2nd trip to Uwharrie, ripped the sidewall out of one, they are paper thin, hence the light weight. FOr DD and looks, they are great, but don't plan on any trail protection. At that point, I ordered the Kevlars, (4.5 years ago...) and they are at about 50% tread. Look like garbage, white wall peeling, some lugs ripped, but they handle well, rain, snow, mud, pavement, but they are HEAVY. THe sidewall is so thick it is tough to mount the tire.

    Bottom line, Riff is right, they are a great tire with not a huge dent in mpg as compared to a true MT, but if you are gonna do some serious wheeling beyond dirt roads or Moab, its gonna take a heavier tire than the P-metric. Perhaps the regular tire would work better, that red letter sure is sexy.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    PS-the spare on my roof is still one of those original tires, no cracking or dry rot The rest of the set with a few new ones were traded in with my F150.
