Anybody had any of these? They are made by Cavalier/Michelin. I've seen a few sets on some local rigs, they look good. Cheap too. 33x12.50x15 are around $110.

A few friends of mine have run these tires, They work pretty good in the slick shit, but they do wear out kinda fast, and sidewall strength is not so great either.

Buckshot Maxxis mudders are a little less expensive and they are pretty good tires too.

I owned some Mud King's and they rode good, but I ate up the sidewalls like a mutha'

Can you say "road hazard warranty"?

Would have to agree with the others - they wear fast and have weak sidewalls.:( Not worth the lower price IMHO

I've been running the 35's on my wagon for many years now, yeah they do wear fast, and the sidewalls are only 2 ply, but thats what the road hazzard warrenty is for! I use my wagon for 90% road, so I'm not defending them for rock crawling! Also, they are made by Bf Goodrich, but maybe Michelin makes Bf Goodrich? I don't know. But I buy them because they only cost $115 a tire, which in my opinion you just can't beat.

I'm running them on my wagon. I paid $480 for 4 of them. They may not last as long as some of the competitors but I haven't had any problems yet. They aren't siped at all which may be hassle if you have winter. Next time I'll probably spend more and go with a MTR. Speaking of failures. My 3 ply sidewall BFGs have been terrible since they switched to KO series on the ATs. And I don't use them for rock crawling. Pretty mild wheeling by Pirate's standards. I had 6 sidewall failures in about a year and a half in 33x10.50 AT KOs all on my 60. The tire shop hates me.
