i didnt even pick, just ordered online. But i got 2 mtr carcasses, with the mtr tread pattern. Im sure if you called them you could ask. My xj actually drives a lot better now, my old front tires were 3/4 worn, and tended to wander a lot on the highway, now im driving straight and true. Also feels a bit smoother too.

Damn! I didn't realize they would look THAT MUCH like the mt/r's. I'm definately considering them after these square trxus tires wear down.
By the way, can you measure the height of them? I'm curious if they come out as a true 31" or taller/shorter.

I've had their 31 10.5 mts on my cherokee for about a year an a half now. now problems at all.
I had 30x9.5 bfg ats that were giving me death wobble cause they were worn funny from a previous jeep. I tossed the 31's on and hasn't wobbled since.
I would say they balance well. I dropped them off to get mounted and balanced, the dude didn't balance them. I caught it before I left the shop so I didn't pay for it, but I wasn't about to wait around for him to do it then, I wanted to try em out before dark. Its a year an a half later on my DD and I still haven't balanced them. I take it on the highway, keep up with other cars 75-80 mph and its fine. I'm probably an idiot of never balancing them but if it ain't broke, dont fix it.
Tires hook up well off road too

I ran the 235/75/15 OTD's for about 10k on my odld tracker before selling it with no issues, new owner drives it daily and wheels it on the weekends as did I. It has been driven clear to Harlan Ky from Columbus Ohio. These tires are worth every penny. But becuase of my discount (20% below cost) at my place fo work I can get BFG's for a few dollars more so I go that route.

DrRandy, I know it was a while ago but.... They don't sell "32"" tires, but they do sell 235/85/16 which works out to 31.8, but you have to buy 16" rims and they are real skinny. I love skinny tires, just saying its an option. They might be narrow enough to run on a 3 inch lift with out rubbing anything bad but I don't know

I know its been awhile, but I wanted to give you guys an update: These tires are amazing, I've been through rain, snow, some mud, and they have performed wonderfully. They have great road manners as well. Not very loud at all. I inspect these tires once a week, and have seen absolutely no issues with them. I would recommend these to anyone who needs new tires.
