Quieter than most. Nothing bad to say, I've just always liked Han's tires.

Nothing bad to say except of issues due to snow and I love the way the Truxus tires work in snow.

I love my Truxus M/t ALMOST as good as my TSL on my old truck, but better on the road. 12gauge your price on Truxus seems high. I paid less then $500 for four shipped to my door step. And they where 265/75r16 (32") which are more expensive then a equal size on a 15" rim. I got them from Tyres International. Check in a 4x4 mag.
With that being said I have 35k on mine and 50%-60% tread left, BUT i am having balance issue on two of them.

What issues did you have in the snow? Because i've had 32's and now have 35's and have had no issues in the snow. Hard packed ice is a diffrent story though. Get a set of snow chains with cleats, problem solved.

His problem was when the snow turned to ice. He needs siping. I am sure someone will drag that picture up for me:jester:
Another plus for the Truxus M/T is the great siping

How thick are the sidewall on those Truxus M/T? just wondering if they have
3 plies like the BFGs or if their 6 like MTRs

Interco advertises most of the popular 15 inch sizes as a 6 ply. It breaks down as 2 polyester and 2 steel on the tread, and 2 polyester on the side wall, some of the metric and larger 16 in sizes are advertised as 8 and 10 ply, but I dont know the breakdown .

This is how well they do!!
Sorry thought that fit.....
They really do good in the snow, this wasn't the tires fault. It was the guy you see in the background who caused it (Dvipercop). I would have made it up just fine.

I think I see a trend with BFG M/T and snow/ice

I might have to get them siped between now and winter, but here is the shot I have to add:

Every time we tried to correct the situation, it got worse until she got hooked up to a winch.

A few comments:
The BFG MT and Goodyear MTR are both a 3 ply sidewall, not 6 ply.
I believe that the truxus has a 2 ply, but it is thick and has not been an issue for most people.
Jason's problem in the snow was not the tires. Siping will help any tires on the ice, the Truxus do have reasonable stock siping.
Usually the reason things get worse before they get better in many of the photos we just say is because we did not take the time to analyze the situation completely and just took a chance to try to correct it quickly.
When you travel alone this is exactly why it can get VERY dangerous.

When I got stuck we took more time taking pictures then getting me out. We put some tire chains on Dvipercops rig, hooked up the tow strap and yanked me down a little bit, then I crawled the rest of the way out. Although I have been on some trips like that.
