I've seen a thread or two about these tires in the mod tech forum but I wanted to ask here. How well will these tires work in the northeast? My XJ is my daily driver and will see 90%+ street use so I am leaning towards the street orienteted tires; the 31x15.5 R15 size.
If anybody has personal experience with these on and offroad it would be much appreciated.

they're a very good AT tire. great in snow and wet roads. the rubber compound is a little softer than the BFG A/Ts so they give better traction overall, but less mileage. I got 40K out of my tires before I switched to Maxxis Bighorns, but I did do a few burnouts with them. ;) Actually, I've still got them... been thinking about putting them back on to get some better fuel mileage.
 
Thanks for the input, since its a daily driver i'll go with these.
:cheers:

My wife's TJ has about 4 winters on them.
They are excellent for NE weather and with rotation the life is very good.
Her TJ gets some winter use as our driveway is about a 1/4 mile and usually very late getting plowed, if at all.
Her stock TJ with 30's does almost as well as the detroit equiped comanche with MTR's in the deep snow but, in lesser depth snow, far outshines the goodyears.
Street use is excellent, no hydro, great grip good tracking.
Maybe not an extreme off-road tire, but great for duel use.
I reallly like them. They alone transformed the stock TJ.
 
I just purchased 235/70R16 REVO 2's and they are even better then the original ones. I went off-road in 1.5 ft show to see what they can do and they went through it like it was water. This is the perfect size for cherokee's with the 16" rims.
 
i run about 98% street and 2% offroad and daily drive it and have run creepy crawlers,boggers,tsl's,iroks, and several mud terrains
 
The Revos are probably the best all-terrain tire, I haven't found a better tire for snow aside from dedicated snow tires like the Blizzaks.
 
Hearing these posts you may have convinced me to get a set for my next round of AT's.

I currently run 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTX's and couldn't be happier. I haven't driven the Jeep in 18ish months and just took it out for a couple of miles in the latest storm we had (the Jeep is not registered so a couple of miles on backroads is all I could do). The tires I have now were awesome, though these reviews are kinda wicked good from the NAXJA crew :laugh:

I am going to be upgrading to 36" or 37" tires within the next year, starting off with the full-on trail tires (probably swamper TSL's of some sort) as this will be probably a 50/50 rig... unless I find a good street tire, then it may go back to "DD"* status. :) After that I will be picking up some 36" ATs for street tires. You may have got me sold on these. Thanks for asking the question. :D

*by DD I mean it will be one of 2 daily drivers. I currently have the XJ and an altima... I want to sell the altima for an MJ. The MJ will be the main DD but the XJ will have to be ready and on hand incase there is a critical issue with the MJ, so having a set of street tires that can handle snow and such would be great! :D
 
I have had 3 sets of these on XJ's and my current DD XJ has them and I wouldn't want anything else on there. Stock size 225/75/15, sitting in 15"s of snow in front of my house, I put it in 4H and I pulled right onto thte road without even spinning. Now I normally put BFG ATs on my DD and I think I've even owned every size but I like these better. My DD F350 runs 35 BFG ATs and those actually break more on wet/icy ground, granted the truck is bigger.

Tire rack carries them in 31" flavor.
Here they are

I used them in the 235/75R15 size and I loved how well they grabbed with snow and ice in the Northwest. Really sad I found larger tires and switched.
