I've only had to deal with snow/ice a couple times and they seemed okay. My only issue is they wore very uneven. I feel like I can blame my alignment guys 100%, but you never really know I guess. I've gotten roughly 35k out of them and the outside edge of one is basically smooth. Inners are almost new so I feel like if aligned properly, they'd go a good 50k which I'd be very happy with. I would rotate and align at every oil change(about 6k/6mos for me b/c I don't drive a ton).


I have that wear issue on my ‘14 Cummins. It has a solid front axle, so nothing can be done to stop the outside edge wear. Rotate every 3-5k Miles, as I see necessary. I have them broke down and flipped on the wheel at around 40k miles. Puts the good side out again

I thought about doing that...how rough were they at first? Like I said I have one that's smooth for about an inch into the thread, and dam near new 6" away. It would be a big change from what they are at now...but I figure if it worked I could get a good 15k more out of them. I dunno. I'm probably going to get the Toyo AT2 when I get the funds. Less agressive tire which I need anyway, I'm only off pavement a few times a year.

Mine weren’t worn as drastic as you are describing. They were pretty even across the tire, leading to the outside edge. Once flipped around, I could tell no difference

Really like the Kelly Safari TSR's. Damn near a mud tire, have gotten my 2WD out of some bad &^%$. Run well with long life, a little HW noise but a dang solid tire for the $$.

Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
