I've read mixed reviews on the original Pro Comp AT but all of the others have always received excellent reviews.

Xtreme m/t is a good tire. Not the quietest on the highway though. But what can you expect from a mud tire?

I had the original ProComp MT's on my 92 Bronco about 5-6 years ago and was somewhat pleased with them. They were only 33's, but always seemed to have some sort of small problem with them that I could never figure out. Granted that truck had plenty of problems anyway, so I don't know if it was the tires or something else.

I've got 35" ProComp Xtreme MT's on the truck now and drive it almost daily unless I'm on the bike and love them. Sure they have a tone to them above about 55mph, but it doesn't bother me at all. Hell the fiance doesn't even notice it. I do have a stereo in there, but nothing crazy and it can easily drown it out.

I've put about 11k on mine so far, about ready for the 2nd rotation and they look exactly the same that they did when new. Hell they still have the little nubs on them that usually wear off of new tires after awhile.

I have a 2008 FX4 supercrew with 35X12.50 ProComp Xtreme A/T. I have 8500 miles on them and the wear has been terrible. The ride has been smooth I will say, but I seriously doubt I will get 25K or 30K miles out of them. Maybe I got a bad batch??? Quite a few people I have talked to have been displeased as well, but there are many that love them.

with any tire correct air pressure (not whats on the sidewall) and rotation and truck alignment are key to getting good mileage out of the tires

Well I have the ProComp 3-ply XTerrains right now with 20,000 miles on them and they have at least 20,000 left. So they're a good tire imho

I have the AT and they were on my truck when i got it. Supposedly they have around 40k on them and they are about shot, maybe about 5-10k left. Even wear all around. I probably would get them again if i got an AT but for now i just bought some toyo MT's that will be on there soon.

I have a set of xtreme mt right now on my 04. Wear has been real good. Ride is terrible though. I think Im running 15 pounds less than what they call for. I always forget how bad mud tires are on the road, but damn they look gooooood!
