    I got some that came with the purchase of my truck. Bout 50 percent tread. And they may need a rotation, but coming from michelin ltx defenders, I'm pretty disappointed. Awful handling when wet outside. Can only imagine how shit it will handle in winter. Looking to get some michelins again. But thought I'd see if anyone else has had a bad experience with these? Or possibly what you went with instead?
    I am based in north dakota, hot dry summers and Ice, snow, cold winters.

    Alot of them
    I had these on a Grand Cherokee in the past. They lose a lot of wet traction as they wear down. They are a fairly soft compound as well. I have the Ridge Grapplers on my truck. They are a much better tire, and this is my 2nd set. I had them on my 2013, and I now have a set on my 2020.

    Had these on my TRD Pro 4Runner. Pretty underwhelming performance during my experience. While is was better than a highway tire, it was not great for an all terrain. It got me around and kept me on the road, but was not confidence inspiring.

    I like Duratrac's and K02's myself!

    Speaking from experience in a tacoma, have tried them on Tundra.
    Original Terra Grappler was a good tire including mud and snow. I hated the G2 Terra Grappler in comparison. The G2 was noisier with less grip on all surface conditions.
    Ridge Grappler had good street behavior and fair offroad performance. Did ok in snow and mud.
    I think KO2 performed better all around except it was tougher to get a good balance done.

    What are you running for pressures? I'm on my second set of TG's so far. Ran originals on my '99 Taco and they were great until the last 20% when they got hard/loud. I've got G2's on my Tundra now and love them. I'm from the PNW, so they see a LOT of rain and wet roads, at 32-36 PSI (LT 10 ply's) I've been very happy with them. I've crossed the mountain passes in OR without issue, moderate snow, ice, etc. The blocks are getting a bit torn up by the sharp rocks in AZ, but they've got plenty of traction.

    I have them on my Tacoma and I like them. When I got them put on they were at 35 PSI and I did feel a little sway / roll when turning and noticed a little bit of slipping on wet roads. I bumped them up to 40 PSI and they have been great. They are more firm on the roads but they feel responsive (which I like) no more sway on turns or slipping when wet. Been running them at that PSI for a few years and all have even wear when rotating them. Id get another set for my Tacoma when they wear out. I'll probably end up getting ridge grapplers for the Tundra when the time comes.

    I can't speak for ice / snow / mud performance. (I've heard they are not great for that) but Not something I run into where I live and drive, but gravel, dirt, sand and highway have performed great for me.
